Wall-E Movie Questions (and Answers!!)
I wanted to post the questions that I used to discuss the movie with the students. They were not necessarily discussed in this order because the students really had a good handle on what the movie was symbolic of. The final question was the final question here. Please feel free to add your thoughts and comments about the movie and discussion especially about the final "surviving vs. living" question.
