M&Ms topics:
An underdog is a character with few advantages in life who succeeds through ingenuity and native talent; why do readers often
identify with the underdog? Write a poem that describes (without naming) a fear you have faced. What punishments are appropriate for crimes such as
shoplifting, speeding, or vandalism? Would you prefer to be judged by a teenage judge and jury or an adult court of law?
