HW:

Prompt for “Mimis in the Middle”

People in tough situations find comfort in illusions or fantasies. Fantasies allow us to escape troubling realities. They provide us with a sense of control and perhaps help us reverse hopeless attitudes about the world or possibly ourselves. On the other hand, many people say illusions get in the way of facing reality, and reality, whether one likes it or not, is filled with consequences and life or death decision-making. What do you think about illusions/fantasies? Are they a good thing? Are they a bad thing? Explain. Be sure to reference “Mimis in the Middle,” by Domingo Martinez, in your response.
