 (Actually, it's more of a long-write)

Choose one of the following essential questions from our study of The Crucible and write a persuasive essay. Include at least three strong reasons for your opinion and back up your position with examples.

Your answer should be 5 paragraphs long. Think how you write a 5-paragraph essay. 1^st paragraph begins with a hook, then states your thesis statement, and lists three reasons that support your statement. Each of those reasons will be the subject of the next three paragraphs. The final paragraph is a conclusion and a reiteration of your thesis statement.

You are allowed to use the internet to help you with your answers. We will be sharing these with the class.

1     Can a work of art, such as The Crucible bring about change in the world? If your answer is yes, can you think of an example of another work of art that has brought about change in the world and might add more credibility to your opinion? If your answer is no, be sure to give thoughtful reasons for your answer.

2    Does a governing body have the right to dictate morality? Yes/ No and why?
