Free Know-how for Lecturers: Grateful Lifeless Writing Prompts

Considered one of my all-time favorites is this October 31, 1980 efficiency of Ripple. I used to be watching it for concerning the hundredth time final week once I was struck by the photographs that seem from concerning the 1:26 mark to the 1:36 mark. In that body we see a younger couple (I might guess their age to be mid-20’s) swaying with their arms round one another. I started to marvel about them. My questioning ideas could possibly be the start of some writing prompts. 

Here is what I questioned about that couple:

• Did they meet that evening?
• What have been they fascinated by one another?
• Did they proceed to comply with the Lifeless?
• Did they develop up collectively, get married, and have children?
• If that they had children, did they take them to any Grateful Lifeless exhibits?
• Are they nonetheless alive? 
• Have been they as blissful as I feel they’re in that scene?

After all, you’ll be able to play this “what if? what occurred?” recreation with any image or video clip of a few folks. I simply selected this one as a result of it stands out to me and it gave me an excuse to write down about one among my favourite Grateful songs.
