CP - Argument Paragraph

Now that we have talked in class about how to write a brief argument about a work of literature, it's your turn to try writing an argument yourself. Using Chapter 4 of Life of Pi (Martel 12-19), answer the following question:
What does Pi argue about zoos and freedom?

Remember:
-indicate the text you are writing about in your topic sentence
-topic sentence serves as thesis; answer the question
-choose evidence carefully
-follow the flow of ideas we discussed in class

-adhere to rules of formal writing! (No 1st or 2nd person, use present tense, no contractions or informal language)

DUE: Tuesday, Nov. 19
