Hey Iris! I'll just give you some of my old favorites here:
1) "Knowledge is more of a means to an end than an end in and of itself." Agree or disagree, and why? 2) What is your greatest ambition and how do you plan on achieving it? 3) Which of the following four dystopias do you think would be the worst to live in, and why? A) A dystopia like Harrison Bergeron in which everyone is given handicaps until they are all at exactly the same ability - and if your ability ever improves, you are merely given a stronger handicap to bring you back down. B) A dystopia like 1984 in which, if you have your own thoughts that are different from those of the establishment, you are guilty of "crimethink" which is considered to be worse than murder. C) A dystopia like The Trial/Vor dem Gesetz in which almost no one has any chance of justice or a fair trial; in other words, you need to be liked by the right people in order to have a shot in a court of law. D) A dystopia controlled by someone like Dolores Umbridge in which you are not allowed to speak your mind; if you are caught saying things that the leader disagrees with, you are severely physically punished. 4) Forest or river? (and, of course, why? ;-))
