King's Ransom

Which of these ideas about the story do you agree with, and which do you disagree with? Explain why you think this.


1. Jeff should have told the police about Eddie and Kathy.

2. When someone has been kidnapped, the ransom should always be paid, in order to save the person's life.

3. Informing the police was risky. They shouldn't have done it.

4. A good wife always supports her husband. Diane should have supported Doug and not left him.

5. Death should be the punishment for kidnapping a child.

  1. i disagree with the first line because ,if a kidnapping child does not want to talk about his kidnappers is because they were not bad people to him brandon bone

  3. I'M AGREE WITH THE SECOND OPTION BECAUSE IS THE LIFE OF A CHILD. IF I HAD MY SON IN DANGER , I WILL PAY IN ORDER TO SAVE HIS LIFE AND I DISAGREE WITH THE FOURTH OPTION BECAUSE IT IS A CRIME, IS ABOUT THE PERSON'S LIFE. R&W 1

  4. I agree with the third point, because the life of a person is more important than money. I disagree with the fourth point, they had to inform the police, because they based on their experience could help better.

  5. I agree with the third option because it was not Doug’s obligation to pay the ransom so Diana should have understood that and maybe if she had kept persuading him, he’d have changed his opinion and payed the ransom. I disagree with the third option because nobody should be killed. Every single human makes mistakes so I think that best punishment should be penal servitude for life.

  6. I agree with the first one, i think is a way to say thanks from Jeff... because the good treament he received from Katty, she protected him in spite of she does not him.
    I desagree with the second, because it is necessary to report the police this kind of crime... the will find a better way to resolve it

  7. I agree with the second point. When someone has been kidnapped, the ransom should always be paid, because all lives are very valuable and only God can take it away.
    And I disagree with the third point, because if they didn't reported at the police about the ransom the police didn't helped them.

  8. I agree with the second one because a person life is more importan than money or other expensives tihngs.
    I disagree with the last one because if a person commit an error in his/her life and do something such as a kidnapping police can give another chance. we also don't have to decide who lives or not. - Kevin Tufiño P.

  9. I disagree with the second point because only child's family have to protect him and I agree with the third point because people always have to comunicate to the police whatever problem. The police can help you when you are in danger.

  10. I disagree with the fifth option, i think if a kidnapper was completely bad with the child he must die but if the kidnapper was nice with the kid and only did that for the ransom he should spend the enough time in jail

  11. I disagree with the pint three. The kidnappers attempt to person's life, cause emotional harm and physical.
    Diana should have persuade more Doug. He could help since beginning of investigation and think more in the Jeff's security that in the money.

  12. I disagree with first option because they were not bad with him and especially kathy that she always protected jeff.
    I agree with the second option because is for save a life's person
    I disagree with the third option because they would need help
    I agree cause Diane should have understood if doug paid the ransom , his family would be in the poverty.
    I disagree with the last option cause killing a criminal is not a good way for punishment otherwise a penal servitude for life instead.

  13. I’m agree that Jeff should have told the police about Eddie and Katty because they were his kidnadppers, although Kathy has been a good person with him and she were not agree with her husband about the kidnapping, she is a crook too. Furthermore Eddie accepted the kidnadpping, and he participated until the end.
    On the other hand I’m disagree with that Informing the police was risky. Because sometimes we want to solve our troubles by ourselves, but that’s not the better option and in cases like that, the police should join in.

  14. I disagree with the second idea because many people do not have the money to pay a ransom and in this story they show us that there are different ways to save someone who has been kidnapped. On the other hand I agree with the fourth idea because a good wife always supports her husband If It is worth to. In this case Diane King shouldn´t have left her husband because he was in a bad situation, even though she helped in some way to save a boy´s life.

    1. These 5 topic have adventages and disadvantages, so I agree and disagree of each one .
      When someone has been kidnapped,family has a terrible problem because if they paid , problaby the person who was kidnapped could be dead , but informing to the police could be dangerous .
      A good wife always supports her husband, Not really , I think good husband also shoul supports his wife , but i think the have to be equality .
      Death should be the punishment for kidnapping a child, I disagree because i think he will be a good luck, he has to suffer more.

  15. I desagree with the third because it’s important to understand the situation or the parent’s feeling. However, they thought the best options about the child’s life. Personally, they was desperated and they do the same that anyone will do in that situation.

  16. I disagree with the second option because it seems somewhat artificial to think that way .we must remember that one's life is most importan than the money.
