Englisch Klasse

Urg!! Today in English my class is making a list of qualities of Greatness. We are currently at the stage where we are eliminating things that we do not agree with. Two of the things I was not convinced were strong moral compass, and hope. The first one was deleted from the list no problem, the second..... not a chance.  We spent the last part of class clashing over whether or not there is such a thing as hope. My standpoint, no, the rest of my classmates, yes. This would have been a whole lot easier if I was not the only bleak person in my class. I made valid points to my cause using real life examples, and from personal experience, and people I am friends with, and they were all shot done. Thanks........It is annoying how I am the only one in my class whom thinks of the bleak reasons.
