A character from a novel or play that you have recently read is on trial, and you are the attorney defending him or her. Identif
y the novel, the character, and the crime (the crime can pertain to an act or a personality trait) for which he or she is on trial. It is time for the closing arguments of the case, and you are responsible for creating an appeal to logos that will persuade the jury to liberate the character. Your appeal to logos should be a well-developed paragraph of at least six sentences. GIVING 30 POINTS!!!
For the first one, I would start by mentioning the characters crime, add something about how it was inexcusable, then incorporate a condensed precis on the characters situation (leaving out any bits that could embody the characters freedom). And end with a statement that discloses that your appeal is unarguable because (enter main argument here) and that is why so and so should be imprisoned.
<span>For the second question, I would personally choose the feminist because it would in theory be easier to explain their basic philosophy and how it is affecting the plot. Because I don't know who the character is, I can't really elaborate further. But please contact me if you need any more help, I'll do what I can. </span>
Ladies and gentlemen, I assure you there is not one good reason for keeping this young man from returning to his friends and family. His crime is perfectly understandable when looked at from the right perspective. We cannot expect anyone with his humble origins to rise to the top of our societal pyramid by merely working hard and honestly. We are all very much aware, ladies and gentlemen, that the world we live in is not for the meek and humble. It takes a good amount of cunning to become what we are taught to dream of since infancy. He sold a few goods. That's all. Were they illegal? Certainly, but there were buyers. Those goods were needed by someone. Gatsby offered what they wanted but couldn't have. He seized the opportunity and made the most of it, as we would do under the same circumstances. I insistently ask you to let him go, for he is not a representative of peril, but a representative of ambition.
