How do the people around us (like our family and friends) impact our decisions, opinions, belief, etc.?
what is an example from the play?
what is a real-life example?

from the poison tree poem by william blakes

A person's behavior tends to reflect the impacts of the views of his/her family and friends. The more we interact with someone, the more are the chances of that particular person to shape our decisions, opinions and behavior. If a person is surrounded by people who tend to have a negative attitude, then the person will most likely suffer from depression or anger. A person who has positive people close to him will be able to live a more happy life.

The poem, Poison Tree, reflects how a person suppresses his anger towards an individual. Due to this anger, he has a negative approach towards life which eventually leads to murder.

In real- life, we see that children who have criticizing parents tend to be more negative in life. These people stay depressed throughout their lives and may also commit self-harm.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
