"Is it possible to mke a heaven out of hell?" (242-270)

The first response compares the numerous ways the word heaven can be interpreted by people. For some people, Satan is considered their God and therefore making hell their heaven. These people consider hell to have good qualities and believe committing sins to be good. No heaven can be created from hell since no person could ever be as good as God because he created goodness and everythign else in the world(according to Genesis). The next response talks about how its possible to make a heaven out of hell. Milton suggests that we all have a little bit of good inside of us and when we are placed in hellish situations, we just need to work to bring forth this good and thus create a heaven. I agree with the 2nd response that in hellish sitatutions we are in control, therefore we have the ultimate decision to create a heaven out of hell. Its possible to make a heaven out of hell in all cases because like Milton suggests we all have a little good inside.
