Description:

Eighteen stories focus on various situations, tragic and triumphant, experienced by characters in search of answers. The author warns about unchecked technological progress and too much reliance on machine technology. The texts examine the conflicting American impulses of rootedness and restlessness, explore the good life, and emphasize beauty found in the simple and ordinary. Themes include the need to reach out to others; the dangers of arrogance, greed, and exploitation; and the critical importance of imagination, faith, and dreams.

Activities:

Students participate in small and large group discussions, close textual reading, and written response in the form of journals, essays, and reflective pieces. They perform research, interviews, and presentations. One lesson features an artwork assignment.

Supplementary materials include an objective and short answer test with answer key.
