1)      Life in Vietnam would be perfect if everyone were totally equal.  Do you agree or disagree?  Explain your answer in complete sentences.

-I totally disagree with this idea. If everyone were equal and same like each other, then we wouldn’t have many great people that won prize and try to help Vietnam to be a better country. Then, we also will not have any great people that give their great effort to their own country about what they have achieve. If everyone on Vietnam were equal to each other, then Vietnam will become an average country. Because there are no one good enough to try to think and develop something new to Vietnam, Vietnam will be the same and not improve.

2)  You are designing a society in which everyone is equal. What are the laws?

-The laws are that people have the same right in their life, everyone will have the same thing, the smart people will have to help the government to develop the country and the people that worst than them when they get into trouble. The smart people don’t have to wear handicaps. No one will make fun of other people.

3)   What would you do to help people who were less capable mentally, physically, or socially to “catch up”?

-I would help them by help them in studies, what we have to do to have right or wrong, teach them to obey the law, and they can have their own talent that can help the country that they don’t recognize it yet (help them to show out their talent)

4)   What problems can you foresee that might come in a society with laws that force “equality for all”? How would you handle those problems?

-The problems will be that the government will disrespect the citizen because they have more power; the rich people may laugh at the poor people or make fun of them. To handle the first problem, the government will have to respect the citizens and help them in their daily life, for the second problem, which laugh about the poor people will get punishment and gave their money to poor people.

5)   Do you believe that total equality is possible, or would human nature make sure that some people would eventually dominate others?

-I think that total equality is impossible because in this word everybody have is different than each other, nothing is equal. Some people have a unique talents and some not, and will dominate other because it is their human nature. Nothing is the equal on this world.

6)   In what situations have you felt similarly to any of the characters? What persons, places, or ideas from your own experience came to mind while you were reading this story? Try to list as least two examples.

-In 6^th grader, there were some of my friends that study well than me but they seem like disrespect the person that is not good like them. I said that they need to respect me and the person that is not good like them. Like when the government make everyone respect each other and equal to each other. In Vietnam history, Vietnam was conquered by France and Vietnamese have to work very hard, no money, being hit by the France soldiers. It was the same at the citizen was being force to wear handicap and do what the government said.
