The issue of moral dilemma in my project paper

Moral dilemma; is the major issue being highlighted in my project paper. It is typical yet crucial to be discussed. I would like to deliberate the literal meaning of moral dilemma. According to Concise Oxford Dictionary, Tenth Edition, moral is an adjective that defined as “concerned with the principles of right and wrong behaviour and the goodness or badness of human character” or “adhering the code of behaviour that is considered right or acceptable”. Meanwhile, dilemma is described as “a situation in which a difficult choice has to be made between two or more alternatives”. i would rather said that this issue is an imperative issue that need to be given the greater importance on especially for the students in the stage of adolescent.

In both short stories “A White Heron” and “Hills like White Elephant” have brings out the issue of moral dilemma to the students and how the dilemma resolved; most importantly the students will look on how the action done by the characters based on the right decision made that will actually brings something prominent and would give a greater effects for their next coming future. Therefore, I am gravely believed and convinced that both texts are very reliable and very good to be used as the teaching materials especially for the secondary school. Firstly because both texts have encircle the most important basis of literature; where it fits well with the three literature model (personal growth, cultural and language model). Secondly for it provides vast of knowledge for the students to grasp some meaningful values emerge from the texts.
