Write a dialogue in which two characters discuss their competing images of the meaning of life. One of the characters can represent your preferences, and the other can represent a viewpoint on meaning that you do not prefer. Your dialogue should bring out and explain each image in some detail; it should discuss the relative strengths and weaknesses of each. Finally, it should provide a reasoned
argument or explanation why, given their strengths and weaknesses, the images are compelling to the characters. Be creative in writing your dialogue, and have fun, but stay focused on the issues. You might also stage this dialogue as an oral presentation in front of your class, or make a video of it.
What will be an ideal response?
