lesson 8 Lesson 08: Right and Wrong C. S. LEWIS Question No: 1 What does interest the author about the remarks mentioned in the firstparagraph?
Answer: In the people¶s quarrelling with each other, what interests theauthor is that the man who makes them (i.e. comments) isn¶t just saying thatthe other man¶s behaviour doesn¶t happen to please him.

Question No: 2 Summarise Lewis·s series of reasons for believing that there is a ´Law ofNature.µ Answer: The author believes in the µLaw of Nature¶, and presents hisreasons. He says there is some accepted standard of behaviour that peopleexpect from each other. All of them try not to go against the standard or law of nature, and if it does, there is some special reason. Both the quarrelling partieshave in mind some kind of rule or law of decent behaviour about which theyreally agreed. If they hadn¶t, they might fight like animals.

We try to shift the responsibilities toothers. All of these excuses are only for our bad behaviour that we find allthese explanations. We agree to this view because we pass through suchsituations ourselves as well. Question No: 5 What are the two points that the author wanted to make? And why are they the foundation of all clear thinking about ourselves and the universewe live in?
