Threads of Choice

In this allegorical short story exercise, students analyze the philosophical concepts of control, freedom, and determinism. Through guided questions, they interpret the symbolic meaning of invisible strings that bind the characters and explore the story’s ethical implications. Learners connect narrative elements to broader philosophical ideas and apply reasoning from thinkers such as John Locke or Jean-Paul Sartre. The worksheet builds conceptual analysis, moral reasoning, and literary interpretation skills.
