Imagine you are a news reporter in a coffee shop enjoying a smoothie with Genghis Khan (don't worry, he is unarmed and wants to speak with you). As the two of you discuss his life, he gives you the following statements:
"I am the punishment of God...If you had not committed great sins, God would not have sent a punishment like me upon you."
--Genghis Khan
"If you're afraid - don't do it. If you're doing it - don't be afraid."
--Genghis Khan
"An action committed in anger is an action doomed to failure."
Document your dialogue with the Khan. Choose one of the quotes and compose several interview questions. Teams to compose questions: Gadget, Pages, and Moderation
The Design and Promotion teams will answer the questions as Genghis Khan would answer based upon what we learned about him in our text book and the "10 Facts Page." Be sure your responses are thorough!

Mister Khan, how dare you say that an action committed in anger is an action doomed to failure? What do you mean with this? Have your actions doomed to failure?
ReplyDeleteHello Mr. Khan I was wanting to ask you with all due respect why would you say that anger produces failure if you yourself acted out of revenge for you fathers death? Are you really a man of your word?
ReplyDeleteI believe that revenge is not anger but replacing the pain you have inside. -G.K.
ReplyDeleteNice! Great "character of the Khan"
DeleteHello Mr.Khan, I want to ask you right now , why did you say an action comitted to anger is an action comitted to failure? Why do you say this , if you took revenge of your father's death? Did all your actions that you made were doomed to failure?Why did you say this if you didn't acomplished your own words? Why did you took revenge ?Why did you killed a bunch of people, if they were not responsible for your father's death?

Ghengis Khan, with all due respect, before you go out to war did you not ever feel fear in our heart? Fear of death? fear for your men and yourself?? If you ever have tell us your reason...
ReplyDeleteOkay Mr Ghengis Khan. Why did you say that if you are afraid - don't do it and if you're doing it - don't be afraid? Haven't you ever felt afraid when you went to the war? Haven't you felt afraid when someone was coming to you to kill you??
ReplyDeleteNo i have never been afraid when I go to war because I know that me and my soldiers are going to win.

I is with capital letter
DeleteHow could you say all of this if you were the one who took revenge of your fathers death. Did you have mercy when you killed all those people? Were you thinking of your father when you killed all those people? What if you killed someone else's father and they were trying to get revenge on you, would you agree with them?
ReplyDeleteWell Mr. Khan you said that anything done out of anger always fails, but why did you Mr. Khan go against your own words and do something out of anger?
ReplyDeleteWell, Mr. Khan, when you say that 'if you are afraid don't do it' you are confessing that you have feared sometime in your life? If you did, can you tell me one time you feared?
ReplyDeleteWell, done! Not a leading question, but heartfelt and sincere!
DeleteWell Mr. Khan with all do respect what do you mean you are the punishment God sent us? Yes, we have all sinned and disobeyed, but I don't think God would send you to kill his people.
ReplyDeleteI know that everybody sins, but I just kill a lot of people that I do not think that God is going to forgive me.
DeleteGK
God chose me becuase he knows that what I do is not wrong i am just killing you guys who sin.
DeleteWell Francis Hidalgo, God sent me to punish you all, because you have committed much sin that cannot be forgiven. You were wild animals fighting and full of disorder, so I was sent to bring order by destroying many of his rebellious people to teach them a lesson. I'm one of God's special ones, so he sent me.

Well Ghengis Khan why do you say you are the punishment of God. Did you know He loves us all even though we are sinners.
