1. Have you ever heard the term willful blindness? What do you think that it means? What could this mean in relation to health?

2. When it comes to health-related issues such as depression, child abuse, domestic violence, drug abuse, or disease, in what ways do people exercise willful blindness? Why would they want to? 3. Margaret Heffernan tells the story of a Montana town that had an 80 percent higher rate of disease than anywhere else in the country. If the people of this town had not been so willfully blind and had listened to Gayla Benefield, how might the health and lives of the people in this town been different? 4. Why do you think that none of the medical professionals in the town of Libby, Montana, questioned the health issues that were plaguing their town? 5. Based on this video, how might you have reacted differently if you had been a member of the community in Libby, Montana? 6. When it comes to health-related issues or problems, how do you know when it is necessary to contact a medical professional? Are there exceptions to this? 7. Can you think of a situation in your life where you were willfully blind? If so, why do you think that you were willfully blind? 8. Do you believe the saying, “ignorance is bliss” to be true? What other stories that Margaret Heffernan tells in the video illustrate the saying “ignorance is bliss”?

Answer:

This is a legal term. Just to get you started, someone that practices being willfully blind, remains ignorant of the situation. They do not want to know the facts so that they can remain "in the dark" or willfully blind. When you do something "willfully" you are doing it and you KNOW that you are doing it. Doing it on purpose. Blind - not seeing the whole picture - or any of the knowledge or facts that you need.

Read the excerpt below from the poem “Ulalume” by Edgar Allan Poe and answer the question that follows.
Deffense [45]
Alliteration: "<span> as the scoriac Rivers that Roll— As the lavas that Restlessly Roll" (the 'r' sound is being repeated at the beginnings of words)
</span><span>
assonance: "</span><span>In the ultimate climes of the pOle— That grOan as they rOll dOwn MOunt Yaanek In the realms of the bOreal pOle" (the vowel sound "o" is repeated throughout the words) 
</span><span>
consonance: "o</span><span>f CypreSS, with PSyche, my Soul" (the consonant "s" sound is repeated at the beginning and ends of words)

These sound devices have a sing-songy effect on the poem which helps create the mystical and mysterious mood. It almost lulls the reader into a type of trance through the memory of the narrator. 
</span><span>
imagery: "</span><span>As the lavas that restlessly roll Their sulphurous currents down Yaanek" 
</span>
This strong imagery helps to bring the memories to life for the reader  and helps the reader relate to the mindset and the emotions of the narrator by providing images to compare them to. Comparing his heart bursting to the way lava flows down the side of a mountain creates a strong image.
