BENJAMIN HARNETT

Who is your favorite celebrity? 

What is the make and model of your dream car? What 

is your favorite land-dwelling animal? Where 

are we going, is it far? 

What was the last name of your academic 

advisor in college? Where does the relative 

who lives farthest away from you reside? 

Are you living, or have you died? 

What type of dog/cat food do you typically 

buy? What was the make and model 

of your first cell phone? Is it true 

that everybody living, lives alone? 

Who is your favorite artist? What 

was the first musical instrument you learned 

to play? Can we ever be forgiven 

for making that one, big mistake? 

What was the last name of your kindergarten 

teacher? What can we do in life, 

if we don’t understand the stakes? 

What was it that the serpent said 

in the garden to Eve? Why must 

we leave?
