Judgement Calls

I have to say that this is one of the best blogs yet. What fun it was to read. Now for my scores on the characters in the story.

(1) Ivan- He was the smartest of the five. This was an easy choice for my number 1 slot. He was very smart as in he just decided to stay completely out of it. Sometimes that is just the best decision to make. The less you become involved in something the better off you are, especially when it is a friend, they can tend to get you in the most trouble.

(2) Gregory-I choose him second because he stood up for what he believed in. Once he found out what Abigail had done he cast he aside. He knew there was an alternative to get across the river, but she decided to lower herself for a faster way. His love for her could not withstand the fact that she had given herself to someone else. I agree with this totally.

(3) Slug- Putting him in the middle was kinda a rough decision for me. It was a tie between him and Sinbad. I have to wonder his reasoning for going to Gregory and beating the pulp out of him. Did Abigail tell him the whole story? If she did then I would not have put him here. But considering that I don't have that information I will assume that she did not and he was acting as a friend to her and felt that she had been done wrong for no reason. It kinda goes against what I said about Ivan but Slug did decide to get involved and therefore I believe that he was wrong in beating Gregory, no matter what. He should have comforted Abigail but never committed the crime of battery.

(4) Sinbad- However easy it may be to hate him the most I have more respect for him than Abigail. The offer that he made to her no matter how low and digusting just goes to show what kind of person he is. He wanted something for his services and that is exactly what he got. How can you really fault him for that. She didn't have to do it.

(5) Abigail - This one I could go on and on about. I think she was wrong every step of the way. If she really did love him she would have never accepted Sinbad offer. She would have taken the alternate route. I mean she could have left earlier in the day and spent time with hima and left a little earlier. Then she would not have been cast to the side because she had given herself to someone else. This definitely shows what kind of person she is. I would hate to know that someone I loved would stoop so low as to sleep with someone to get a ride. I would rather them wait until it was easier for them to get to me. She lowered her standards way to low for me to have any kind of respect for her.
