    Manipulating People

    POSTED AT 08:08 AM

    Are you a manipulator? Do you know someone who is one? Can you think of a character from literature who was? Why do you think someone becomes a manipulator? What are the underlying reasons? How do you think the manipulator feels about him/herself?

    If you could go on a road trip and you were the driver, where would you go? What states would you visit? Any special sites? Who would you take along and why? How many days would you be gone? What would you expect from your road trip?

    Selfishness vs Selflessness

    POSTED AT 08:03 AM

    What's the difference between those two words? Why do some people choose to be "selfish" while others choose to be "selfless." Think of today's society and/or characters from literature.  Who is selfish? Who is selfless?
