Choose How to Respond in a Discussion Abc
"I think Vonnegut wants readers to question
conformity," says one participant. "We should
to wake up to the pressure to think and act in
the same way as others."
Another participant responds, "I agree. I
think he's writing about the pressure we all
feel. We want to be as smart, strong, and
talented as everyone else in the world. Maybe
we would all be happier if we didn't have to
see people being so much better at things
than we are."
What would be the best way to respond
respectfully and add another perspective?
O "I don't know. I think Vonnegut probably
meant something different entirely."
o "No way! You totally missed the point about
conformity."
o "You're probably right. I suppose the story is
about the pressure inside of us."
O "Possibly, but what if it's more about external
pressure from society?"
