S.S.S

"The best recreation is to do good." - William Penn 
 What this quote is saying is that to do good makes you feel good about yourself. When someone does bad, that is not something they will enjoy getting repercussions about in the future. A recreation is something you feel good about and enjoy doing. Doing bad things cannot be a recreation because how can you feel good when you know what you did was bad. Doing good always bring benefits into your life, therefore at the end of the day or whenever it is, you will feel good about yourself and also have positive things come your way. Recreations can consist of swimming, playing basketball, volleyball, or maybe going out to spend time with family or something. For example, when someone decides to chose the wrong and eventually get negative consequences for their actions, they will not enjoy what they have earned for themselves. Therefore when you chose the right there is always good outcomes which make you end up doing what you enjoy or like the most, and that is what you call a recreation. Let other people do there own thing and let them chose the wrong. If you follow along with people who don't do good, you will not be doing no recreations. All you will do if you chose the wrong is get yourself into big trouble, and you will have to be responsible for the consequences. In my opinion this is a good quote, because it makes good sense, and has a good meaning to it. It is all up to you and your choices.

S.S.S

"Right is right, even if everyone is against it; and wrong is wrong, even if everyone is for it."
                                                                                                                            - William Penn        This quote is saying that although there could be a whole group of people doing wrong it does not mean they are right because wrong will always be wrong no matter what. Everyone could be against of what is right but that does not mean right is not right anymore. For example, let's say everyone decides to tag on school walls, that does not mean that it is the correct thing to do only because everyone is for it. Wrong is still wrong even if many people are for it. If there's only one person choosing what's right and 10 other people choosing what is wrong, the one person choosing the right is still right. It does not matter the amount on each side, because right is still right and wrong is still wrong. Don't be influenced by other people and have the courage to stand up for yourself and your decisions. All this will help you to create a good name for yourself. Sooner or later everything right you did will pay off in the future. The people who chose wrong will soon suffer the consequences and will regret ever choosing the wrong over right. Also, in order to feel good about yourself you must always keep going/choosing the right way and never look back at other people choosing the wrong.
