CP - Argument Paragraph #3

We recently reviewed conventions for formal writing and reviewed the distinction between claims and facts.

We also discussed and debated whether Pi chooses the right plan for Richard Parker in Chapter 57 of Life of Pi.

Now, on your blog, please write an argument paragraph answering the following question:
Does Pi choose the right plan for Richard Parker--Plan 7, "Keep Him Alive"?

Please use your observations and reasoning from our class work, and remember the following guidelines:

  • no first or second person pronouns
  • use present tense
  • use formal language (no contractions, slang)
  • include textual evidence and provide citations :-) 
DUE - Saturday, Dec. 14, 8pm
Here's the short argument structure & model we have discussed in class, for reference
