CHAPTA 16 WRITING PROMPTS

1.The Perfect Trap. The Lotus Casino is designed to make kids never want to leave. Do you think it would keep you entranced? Write a description of a place that would be a “perfect trap” to keep you there forever. What would such a place look like? What activities would be available? What kind of food?
IT WOULD BE A BIG HUGE EMPTY ROOM EXCEPT IT'S VIRTUAL REALITY AND YOU COULD... ok basically Roblox but VIRTUAL REALITY.


2.Time Travel. Time travels slowly in the Lotus Casino. Darrin has been there since the 1970s but he’s still a kid, and it seems to him that he’s only been there a few days. Would you like to spend some time in the Lotus Casino? How far ahead in time would you like to travel before you stepped outside? Remember, though, you could never go back.

THAT'S SUCH A HARD QUESTION THAT I CAN'T ANSWER IT BECAUSE IT'S SO HARD THAT I CAN'T ANSWER IT BECAUSE IT'S SO HARD THAT I CANN'T ANSWER IT.
