Philosophical Questioning-How would you feel if a family member suddenly died and you had to bury them on the spot?
- A great percentage of those migrating across America turned out to be in there youth. Why do you think many older people stayed behind?
- If you were President Roosevelt what would be your approach to trying to save America.
Reflection
- After my discussion with my mother her most memorable response was to question one. My mother felt that she would be overwhelmed with despair but would have no choice but to move on for the rest of her remaining family. Seeing how different my mothers answers were to my answers was especially interesting. For example while answering the second question she was more focused on helping the farmers, and stopping so many of them from migrating while i was more focused on the country as a whole and making sure everyone was better off. I could improve my questions by making sure they are very detailed, and also more controversial
