Today’s Writing Wednesday prompt comes from author Chuck Klosterman’s Hypertheticals.

You are offered a Brain Pill. If you swallow this pill, you will become 10 percent more intelligent than you currently are; you will be more adept at reading comprehension, logic, and critical thinking. However, to all other people you know (and to all future people you meet), you will seem 20 percent less intelligent. In other words, you will immediately become smarter, but the rest of the world will perceive you as dumber (and there is no way you can alter the universality of that perception).

Do you take this pill? Please answer in a minimum of 8-10 sentences.

Please use your annotations from yesterday to answer the text-dependent questions on the Padlet. Please don’t forget to write your name so you get credit! As always, your responses should be in complete sentences; use text evidence to support.
