Reread these quotes shown about decision making: “It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.”

—J. K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

Alice came to a fork in the road. "Which road do I take?” she asked.

“Where do you want to go?” responded the Cheshire Cat.

“I don't know,” Alice answered.

“Then,” said the Cat, “it doesn't matter."

—Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland

Compare and contrast the quotes about Harry and Alice based on what you know or can conclude about each character from the text. How are the views on decision making in the two quotes different? How are they similar?

The quote from Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets implies that the choices we make show our strength of character much more than our talents and abilities. So, it’s critical to make the right decision in any situation. Also, the quote assumes that Harry has something inside him that will guide him to make the right decisions.

In the quote from Alice in Wonderland, Alice doesn’t know which road to take. She has two options, but she is not sure which one is better. The Cheshire Cat tells her that if she is uncertain of her direction, it does not matter which decision she makes. In her situation, there is no sense that she as an individual has the means to make a good decision because she is in a topsy-turvy world.
