Greed, Reader Response

After reading the first two paragraphs I have noticed a lesson begin to appear, that lesson being not to be greedy.  In the first chapter the main character by the name of Llewellyn finds a brief case with 1 Million dollars inside.  Instead of doing what he should do and leave it where it is he decided to take it for himself.  This was Llewellyn's biggest mistake, he at that exact moment began a wild goose chase around the country, with him trying to survive, all because he took a brief case full of money that he thought would make his life better.

  1. I think it was good that he took the money because otherwise Chigurh would get it and that would encourage the dealers to keep dealing.

  2. In a way i agree with you Frank, but on the other hand the problem lies with the fact that he kept the money. If he had brought the money into the police he would not have been pursued by Chigurh. That is my argument, the fact of doing the right thing not beeing greedy and taking the money. In a way he was selfish, he not only put his life in danger but also his wifes. That is my point, yes it is good he took the money but he should have turned it in to the police right away, he probably would have gotten an award.
