¶ on "By the Waters of Babylon" by Stephen Vincent Benét
Scholars: Discuss (with your parent(s)/guardian(s)) the aformentioned story. What is the MOST important, LESS obvious lesson for the reader?
After discussing, write an argumentative paragraph that a) states your claim, b) sets up your claim with one sentence of plot summary, c) includes a fitting direct quote, and d) explains your idea (your commentary—this can include additional examples IYOW, alternative interpretations, connections to our lives).
Remember to write this elsewhere, on paper or on a google doc. THEN copy and paste it into the HTML comment box below. (And check punctuation before posting!)
