INANIMATE ALICE "DEEP AND QUICK QUESTIONS" (RAPIDAS Y PROFUNDAS)

Please read CHAPTER 3  AND POST 3 QUICK QUESTIONS AND 3 DEEP QUESTIONS
http://www.inanimatealice.com/


You may read the last entry to remember what QUICK AND DEEP questions are!!!!


You may write in ENGLISH or SPANISH

The Power of Question involves two kind of questions: quick questions and deep questions.

* The quick questions are those which answers are found in the story or picture.
Example: What kind of clothes Alice was wearing when she went out from her house?
Answer: 1. Long underwear, thermal top, thick socks, etc.

* The deep questions are the ones which answers are found within ourselves. There is no correct answer for these questions because the answers involves personal experience and opinions and help us go beyond the story.

After reading Inanimate Alice Chapter 3 ( http://inanimatealice.com/episode3) I came up with two deep questions that I would like to share with you.

1. What would have happened if Alice wouldn't have been alone while her parents were out?
I think that Alice wouldn't have worried so much and she would have stayed home instead of risking herself by going out during the snowstorm.

2. What would have happened if Alice wouldn't have heard Brad's voice in her head during the snowstorm?
In my opinion, Alice wouldn't have been calm and she wouldn't have heard her parents coming back to help her.

As you can see, I'm answering according to my particular point of view. That's why we can find different answers to deep questions.

Now is your turn. Write two deep questions about the story and share your answers.

Enjoy this experience!!
