Project two Direction of my paper

Thesis: In the game Super Mario Bros Mario and his brother Luigi illustrates how in the matter of life and death the end justifies the means.

Idea 1-Examine how the end justify the means in the Mario game. I think I will go into detail about the character and show what he goes throw. I can probably compare and contrast him being an ordinary plumber to now being or have the characteristics of a super hero.

Idea 2-Use the game as a platform for real life situation or just the concept of the end justifying the means. What I mean by this is I would focus on the ethics of the statement rather than solely to game.

Idea 3- Combination_ This is basically me combing both ideas to form my paper.
