Sorry for so much trouble but i really really really want to know these answers so i have six discussion questions that i can't find ANYWHERE!
1. There is a telling passage about Mortenson’s change of direction at the start of the book: “One evening, he went to bed by a yak dung fire a mountaineer who’d lost his way, and one morning, by the time he’d shared a pot of butter tea with his hosts and laced up his boots, he’d become a humanitarian who’d found a meaningful path to follow for the rest of his life” (p. 2). What made Mortenson particularly ready for such a transformation? Elaborate on anything similar that has happened in your life; if you have never had this happen, find someone who has and describe it for me.
2. why did relin chose to write about greg's charactor-his choice of details and his perspective. what do you think are gregs strentghs and weaknesses? do you think you would like to get to know greg better? why or why not.
3. at the heart of the book it says; we each as individuals have the power to change the world. one cup of tea at a time. yet the book also shows us the obstacles in the way of this philosophy; war, prejudice, religious, extremism, and cultural barriers. what specific examples do you know of that illustrate one of these barriers to positive change? do u think this philosophy can work for lasting and meaningful change? elaborate.
4. what experiences have u had in making a difference through acts of generosity, aid or leadership? who else do u know who has made difference, and how have they done this?
5. after haji family saves gregs life he reflects that he could never imagine discharging the dept he felt to his hosts in korphe disuss the sense of indebtness as key to mortensons character. why was he compelled to return to the region again and again? in ur opinion does he repay his debt by the end of the book? how do you know when this dept is repaid?
6. the authors write that the balti held the key to a kind of uncomplicated happiness that was disqppering in the developing world this peaceful simplicity of life seems to be a part of what attracts mortenson to the villagers. discuss the pros and cons of bringing civilization to the mountain community. what defines civization in ur own words?
