To be sure, figuring out the main idea and underlying message of “The Last Question” and “The Star,” whether implicit or explicit, is definitely a challenge. More importantly, what I want you to consider as you write your response is how the two stories and their messages represent the height of critical and creative thinking, not on the part of the authors, but on the part of the characters in the two stories.
