Writing is a key means of asserting and defending your claims. We have been working taking a clear position in our writing and defending our position with textual support and clear reasoning. After reading, The Outsiders, by S.E. Hinton you will perform the following task:
Remember:
Use clear textual evidence
Take audience and purpose under careful consideration
Task:
In our novel The Outsiders, Johnny Cade and Pony Boy find themselves in a gruesome fight in which a Soc named Bob is killed. There are two sides to an argument, and in this case, some may feel Johnny is guilty of murder, while others believe he is innocent.
Choose one of the following and write your essay arguing for, or against Johnnys innocence. Write your essay from the perspective of either the prosecuting attorney or the defense attorney. You MUST cite specific text to strengthen your argument.
Defense Attorney:
As Johnnys defense attorney, you will argue for his innocence. Cite evidence from the text to support your claims. How would you convince a jury that Johnny did not commit murder?
Prosecuting Attorney:
As the prosecuting attorney, you will prove that Johnny is guilty of murder and argue against his innocence. Cite evidence from the text to support your claims. How would you convince a jury that Johnny should be convicted of murder?
Example of textual evidence:
And Johnny, who was the most law-abiding of us, now carried in his back pocket a six-inch switchblade. Hed use it too if he ever got jumped again. They had scared him that much. He would kill the next person who jumped him. Nobody was ever going to beat him like that again. Not over his dead body. (p.34)
****Because this is an argumentative piece of writing, you must also include the rebuttal. In your third body paragraph provide 3 pieces of evidence that would support the other side of the argument.
Steps:
1. Find at least 3 pieces of textual evidence (include page number)
2. Find background information on the case
3. Organize your evidence into 3 specific arguments you can use in a thesis statement
