Can anyone explain to me what we are to do for the Jekyll and Hyde Essay? I am very lost due to missing a day of class.
I believe we are to do something using our Persuasive Argument, but I'm not sure how. Please Help!
Did you read the Persuasive Blog Assignment? You are to write from the point of view of either the Prosecutor or the Defense attorney. Decide first whether you would be more likely to convict Hyde of the murder of Sir Danvers Carew or free him. Next, brainstorm how you as either the prosecutor or defense attorney would convince the jury of Victorian citizens to take your side. Remember these are the closing arguments, so this takes place after the witnesses are called up to testify before the court. However, closing arguments highlight or recap all of the reasons (evidence, witnesses, etc.) and give a powerful final thought/statement to the jury that hopefully sway their decision. Try watching some courtroom TV dramas or view some clips of these types of shows on youtube to get a feel for what these closing statements sound like. I hope this has helped!
