Hard, Prompts for Dark Delicacies
Journal Prompts for Dark Delicacies:
1. In the book, Dr. Goldman was an abortion doctor, retroactively executed for performing abortions before they were illegalized. Do you think that he should have been executed? Do you think the painful execution was just? Why, or why not?
2. In the story, religion rules the government, leaving science and logic behind. How would your life be changed if religion ruled the government?
3. Abortion is one of the main issues illegalized in the story. Do you think this was right or wrong? Why, or why not?
4. Other religions were also illegalized in the book. Do you find this to be morally correct? Keep in mind that the first amendment of the Constitution was specifically changed in the book.
5. What would you do if you lived in the book, and became pregnant, by an incest rape, at age 15? Would you keep the infant, or would you attempt a self-abortion? How would you manage the emotional damage you would have from either choice?
Song For Dark Delicacies
Eye For an Eyelash
Hammurabi said
way back in the day
revenge for the dead
should be the way
but dead men tel no tales
even if theyre unborn
mothers without veils
a white dress unworn
Who's to make the call
and say it want right
to let her end it all
before she had to fight
Poverty, or you and me
brother's baby, and guilt you see
She'd suicide if we let her be
who died and made you king?
Wrong or Right, who gives a damn
that's just what they'll do
condemn, tar, and feather you
They claim it's in His plan.
one god fear stricken overnment
morals, don't know where they went
The rapture's on its way
Well see who will stay
Who's to make the call
and say it want right
to let her end it all
before she had to fight
Poverty, or you and me
brother's baby, and guilt you see
She'd suicide if we let her be
who died and made you king?
