3. Given that Ranofer is a growing boy and needs all of his food, discuss the pros and cons of Ranofer leaving his breakfast at his father's tombs. Include in your discussion your own opinion of his action.

Essay Topic 3

The more Ranofer thinks about it, though, the more he realizes that a tomb is the only place Gebu could have gotten a goblet such as the one he has. Ranofer is frightened because he knows the punishment is death, but he also knows that Gebu must be punished. This is a moral dilemma that Ranofer must handle alone because he does not want to cause trouble for his friends.

1. Why do you think Ranofer believes Gebu is stealing from tombs because of the goblet? Where else might Gebu have gotten the goblet?

2. Why do you think Ranofer is frightened because of the punishment for tomb robbing? Do you think he is concerned his half brother could be hung? Why or why not?

3. Discuss why Ranofer's decision is a moral dilemma? How could his friends get in trouble based on his decision?
