In the biography Gandhi the Man: How One Man Changed Himself to Change the World, we learn of Gandhi’s nonviolent Salt March in which he inspired thousands of Indian citizens to peacefully protest British law, despite being on the receiving end of violent beatings, arrests, and shootings. As a result, ordinary people became heroes while following the nonviolent and unconventional methods of Gandhi. Think about your own life. When have you used unconventional methods to solve a problem? What was your motivation? What effect did your choices have on the outcome? Support your response with evidence from the text as well as personal experience. As you make connections between Gandhi's motivations and your own, include anything that may have altered your understanding of Gandhi’s unconventional methods.
