In a group discussion, a participant says, "I would never have picked up the diary. It’s not worth the risk.” How would you respond to share your viewpoint? Write three sentences.

Answer:

I understand why you might feel that way, but I disagree because the information in the diary could be vital to the character's survival. Even though it is risky, the potential reward of uncovering the truth outweighs the danger of being caught. For these reasons, I believe picking up the diary was a necessary step for the protagonist to take.
