Listen, make questions, answer questions and discuss. 
Students ask and answer questions about their personal experiences in life. 

"Did you know that the only dog ever struck by lightening was right here in Egypt?"

"I wish I’d met you before we were dead."

"You know the ancient Egyptians had a beautiful belief about death. When their souls got to the entrance to heaven, the gods asked them 2 questions; their answers determined whether they were admitted or not."

"Fine, fine, let me put it to you this way ."

"after the break up and the ensuing fleecing of the dad, Emily went to live with her mother."

"You know, you try to stay close, but it gets down to holidays, phone calls, birthday cards, you know."

Anyway, Emily goes to college and joins one of her “save the poor people”, “the animals”,

So, when she said they were engaged I told her I was against it.

But, being my daughter, naturally, she went ahead and married him anyway.

Needless to say, I wasn’t invited to the wedding.

First time he hit her, she came to me. I wanted to bash his brains in. She wouldn’t let me. Said she loved him; said it wasn’t his fault he had had a few drinks, she was the one who picked the fight.

Next time it happened she didn’t come to me, the ex told me. Nice to hear her voice again. I took care of it. I called a guy, who called a guy who handles these kinds of things. Don’t know what he said, don’t know what he did. All I know is he didn’t kill him, and my daughter never heard from him again. (She) called me names you wouldn’t believe and worse. Said I was dead to her.

I am not proud of everything I did, but I’m pretty sure I’d do it all again.

So, if they don’t let me into Egyptian heaven because my daughter hates me, well then I guess that’s just the way it goes.

When Carter and Edward are talking on top of the pyramid, Carter tells Edward, “The ancient
Egyptians had a beautiful belief about death. When their souls reached the entrance to heaven, the
gods would ask them two questions. Their answers determined if they were admitted or not.”
The two questions are quite simple. The first is “Have you found joy in your life?” The second is
“Has your life brought joy to others?”
