 Please, choose only one question to reply from the following ones:


a) Why was the Little Green Storage company located under the Millenium Dome?

b) What would have happened if they had broken all the bricks with stolen time at once?

c) Was the scripture at the bottom of the brick a useful evidence?

 "IF FOUND, PLEASE RETURN TO THE OFFICE OF VANESSA LAING-RANDALL, LEXINGTON BANK"

d) Please, share if you agreed or disagreed with Doctor Who when he said:

"You can do a lot of amazing things with extra time. That's the trouble with borrowing. It makes everything look good. No one wants to see what's really going on because it all looks so pretty. But it's no good making everything pretty, if everyone will die when they pay back their borrowed time." 

e) Why did Doctor Who saved everyone except himself?




Best,

  2. Hi. My name is Carmen Avilés and my answer is about letter c: Yes, the scripture shows who belongs all those bricks, so we assumed that she was relationed with aliens. Therefore, it is a very strong evidence.

  3. Hi, I'm Josué!
    e) Because Doctor Who is a Time Lord, he knew the many consequences of some actions that were taken throughout the story. And this could be evidenced about his handling of the alien watches.

  5. Hi, I am Thalia Campos. My question is b. The answer is that we would not know for sure what would have happened since according to the book if they broke all the bricks at the same time they could pay what they owe immediately, or nothing would happen, or it would be the end of the universe.

  6. Hi, I am Natalia Mendoza!

    d) I completely agree with the asseveration of Dr Who. I compared this statement with what a salesman do, that most of the time they show the beautiful stuffs of the product but not focus on sharing the consequences, so they are not completely honest because what they care is to sell. Also, if you are going to earn an extra time but you have to pay back with your life time it's nothing worthy and I dare say, it is counterproductive.

  7. Hi, my name is Andrea Ballin e. Doctor Who preferred to save everyone because I believe that the actions that help us achieve full happiness is helping others, and this could be evidenced about his handling of the alien watches. By supporting others, we help ourselves grow as human beings, improve our mood and even our health. sometimes you offer support and other times you discover that the other takes care of you.

  8. Hi, I'm Anibal and I will answer question d).
    I agree with Doctor Who. Sometimes borrowing time may seem great, but the problem is when you have to pay it back. It is very similar to what happens with borrowing money to a bank.

  9. The scripture was a very useful evidence because it was the key to know that Vanessa was the mastermind behind the watches, the time debts, the sharks, everything! Such a good plot-twist.
