Writing assignment
You'll find the prompt for the writing assignment in the link to the "Open Response" questions at the right of the screen; you want the 2011 prompt on "justice." A three- to five-page paper is due next Friday. For Monday, I want to see (and discuss) outlines and opening paragraphs. Think about what the prompt is asking—the fullness of what it's asking—when crafting the opening. I'd suggest brainstorming and outlining first before attempting the opening paragraph. We'll go over how to use quotes in a paper like this next time.

Clarification
I've had several questions about this, which means I wasn't clear or complete in my instructions; that's typical for an assignment that I haven't used before.
For the first option, I assumed you would use the narrative style of the original story rather than some new authorial voice.
