Write an Essay and Outline: The Drawbridge. Decide which person is most guilty of the death of the Baroness. Choose one person only.
Write an essay to convince me that you are correct. Give sufficient proof of your
claim. Prove who is most guilty of her death – who is the most responsible? Include
only evidence that proves why that one person is the most guilty of her death. You
may want to address and demolish other potential arguments. (There is no one right
or wrong decision in this assignment the purpose is to see how well you can write
a convincing argument.)
(Remember to brainstorm ideas and to make a list and a skeleton outline before you
start to write and remember to submit the outline.)
Use the language of assumption when assuming. If a fact is not stated in the story,
you are making an assumption, and must use words such as maybe or perhaps.
Because information in the story is limited, you will have to do some assuming.
What might be true? What could that person have done instead?
Remember to make the introduction interesting. Use some background material or
mention cultural or historical practices whatever will interest the reader (me).
