In addition to the ones in the handout, students have suggested the following, which would also be acceptable.
- Feynman seemed compelled to demonstrate his genius to those around him. Where might this stem from? What impacts did it have on his life?
- Compare Feynman’s definition of genius to that of Ralph Waldo Emerson.
- Why was the subtitle of the book “Adventures of a Curious Character”? What does that tell us about how Feynman views science?
- Feynman seemed driven to go beyond the limits others might see. What in his life reinforced this drive? How did this drive shape his life?
