Questions and Answers

Hello.

Your classmate has written to me asking the questions below. I thought it would help if the answers are shared here.

Question 1:

I quote from what you have written in your blogspot, 'No use having a stand that everybody agrees about.' So, I'll just imagine that I'm Mary Maloney's attorney, taking my stand to persuade the audience that she didn't kill her husband purposely?

Answer: Don't imagine that you are her attorney. You are just you defending your belief about the story. If you say that she didn't kill her husband on purpose, then write that in a proper, strong sentence to reflect that you believe this.

 'No use having a stand that everybody agrees about' means, it's not useful to say, for instance, Mrs Maloney's husband is a terrible person. That's obvious isn't it? Leaving a wife who is heavily pregnant for another woman is not exactly what a good man should do. On the other hand, if you say "Mr. Maloney is doing his wife a favour by leaving her" then that's interesting! Try to prove it if you can. That's just an example.

I look forward to giving feedback on your positions. Please have me approve them first before you proceed with the essay.
