Our Predicament


Alice came to a fork in the road. "Which road do I take?" she asked.
"Where do you want to go?" responded the Cheshire cat.
"I don't know," Alice answered.
"Then," said the cat, "it doesn't matter."

~Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland

  1. "Where do you want to go?" That question has too many levels of meaning. This is a good sentence to emphasize different words. WHERE do you want to go? Where DO you want to go? Where do YOU want to go? Where do you WANT to go? (My favorite).

    So Jack, where do you want to go? Oh yeah, it doesn't matter.
