Moral Dilemma Response

In this writing activity, students are asked to imagine themselves as part of the grandmother’s family during the story’s climax. Faced with danger, they must describe their emotions, choices, and reasoning in an 8-10 sentence response. This exercise helps students connect personal moral reasoning to literary themes such as fear, faith, and redemption. It encourages empathy, reflective writing, and ethical analysis, allowing learners to engage deeply with the story’s central moral crisis.
