Do we have a hand in our fate, or is our future determined by the situation and world we find ourselves in? That is a question that philosophers, religions, and all of mankind has been trying to solve through the ages. So which is it? Are our futures determined by the choices we make? Or does the world around us and the pressures it exerts have more control on us?
Write a brief argumentative essay where you argue whether our fates are a result of our choices or outside pressures we have no control over. To argue your point, choose one of the books you read as an example. Explain how the main character, or one of the main characters, is an example of what you are arguing. Refer to the text frequently to prove your point; avoid mere summary or paraphrase.
