    In your response to the second question you need to state WHY the methods described to kill a man are cumbersome. It is the effort involved in each act? Or has it something to do with the consequences of the actions? Or something completely different altogether?

  4. 1.The five methods to kill a man as depicted by Brock are:

    •Crucifying him
    •Pierce him with a length of steel ( A sword)
    •Blow gas at him (Blow him up)
    •Drop him in the middle of the ocean (Drown him)
    •Leave them as they are in their bad world (Leave him in terrifying moments)

    2.The word CUMBERSOME means clumsy. The five methods considered to be as such by Brock because the situation all ends up the same way and have been done before.

    3.The final suggestion is somewhat SIMPLER because it was an action that could always been done that also the ended with same conclusion.

  5. 1) The five ways to kill a man are to make a man carry a plank of wood to the top of a hill and nail him to it when he reaches the top. The second way is to try and pierce a hole threw him with a length of steel. The third was is if the wind is hard enough to blow gas at him. The fourth way is to get your enemy in an aeroplane and by one press of a switch have him drop out of the plane into a sea of water. The fifth way is to see that he is living somewhere in the middle of the twentieth century, and leave him there.
    2) The world cumbersome means awkward in a way. The five ways of killing someone is considered like that because it would be awkward to kill someone like that. Not to say it’s very hard to. What enemy would come in a plane with you ?.
    3) The last suggestion is simpler because it doesn’t really include physical punishment and it’s not necessarily going to kill the person.

  6. 1. The five ways to kill a man are; you can make him carry a flank of wood and nail him on top of the hill, you can take a length of steel shaped and chased in a traditional way, you may fly miles above your victim and dispose of him by pressing one switch, gas him and leave them as they are.
    2. Cumbersome means big, heavy. The ways to kill a man are considered to be big because naturally it’s a big thing to kill someone and it’s a heavy burden. They all end up in the same way.
    3. All the ways are simpler because they don’ t have do anything

    The word CUMBERSTONE means clumsy. The five methods are considered to be the same as such Brock because they all end up the same dead.
    3) The last suggestion is the easiest due too no physical action is needed to be done and also you won’t have the thought of that you physically killed someone.

    Crucifying the man, stab him, shoot him, drown hum, Leave them as they are in their bad world

    2. What does the word CUMBERSOME mean? Why are the five methods considered to be as such by Brock?
    Cumbersome means unwieldy. All these methods have been done before and they ante really creative or original. They seem quite boring and should almost always guarantee death to the person.

    3. Why is the final suggestion somewhat SIMPLER?
    I is something that you do not need to do anything about/participate in and it is a guaranteed death to the person. ALSO you aren’t guilty for anything.
