Would You?
If your son/daughter is being accused of murder and they are no where to be found, would you assist the police in finding them?
Helping a Drug Addict
The main character in my book, Emily, is a teenage drug addict. Her mom and brother are extremely concerned about her mental and physical well-being, so they stage an intervention. What would you do if you had a loved-one who was heading down the wrong path like Emily?
Keeping The Basics
In Animal Farm, the animals are making the rules for their future 'society' without human control. The leaders (the pigs) have agreed that all human products and ways of life are banned. One of the animals, Mollie, the horse, says she wants to keep her sugar cubes and the ribbons for her mane and is told she cannot do so because that represents humans and their suppression of the animals.
If you were going to lose the way of life that you had always known what two material things would you want to take with you to the new 'society'? Or would you not want to take anything with you at all?

Creating a Community
If our class was stranded on an island, and we had to create our own government/community, what would you do, whom would lead it, and whom would be exiled?

What If?
What would you do if you were exiled from your community? Your friends and family weren't even allowed to talk to you or they would be punished.
Quiet Place
The main character in my book, Cody, has a place at his parents home where he goes to think. It is up on a bluff overlooking the ranch and he can see all the stars. Do you have a place that you go when you are upset or need to think or just need quiet time to yourself?
Comrades..
In the book I am reading, Animal Farm, the animals are planning a revolt again the farmer, 'Lord of All The Animals'. None of the animals were brave enough to do such a thing alone, but as a group they became daring enough to do the unthinkable.
Have you ever been inspired to do something with a group that you would have never done alone?

Have you ever...
done something that was completely out of character and that you could not beleve you did it after you did it?
I ask this because in my book one of the characters marrys a man she only knew four weeks and after they divorce she said sometimes she does not even believe she did what she did.

Wedding Day
How would you feel/react if you got a call from your fiance 10 minutes before your wedding and he told you he couldn't marry you because he was gay, and in love with another man and would always be looking for opportunities to be with him?

The Memories of Loved Ones
It is said that when people we love pass away, they never truly leave us because their memories live on in our hearts. If this is true why is it that after a period of time we begin to forget what their voice sounded like or the shape of their face?
Should you be allowed to start a new life? Or would you even want to?
Okay. You've been sent to a new country by your husband and he was supposed to come join you so you can start a new life together. It's now been years and you haven't seen or heard from him. You fall in love with another man and want to start a relationship with him but are technically still married to your 'husband'. What would you do? Start a new life or would you want to continue to wait for your husband when you don't even know if he's still alive?
