Essay Topic 2

Write a story about living in colonial times and you are abducted by Native Americans. In The Deerslayer, the Iroquois wanted Judith to come and marry one of their warriors. Research the true story of Cynthia Parker in the library or on the internet. Then write a story where you are the main character and grow up as a captive in a Native American community. Would your attitudes towards Native Americans be different from the way you feel today?

Essay Topic 3

Things that might not happen in real life but happen in a novel are true because the author says they are. Write how you feel about that. Do you find it easy to believe preposterous things like witchcraft and monsters just to enjoy a story? On the other hand, perhaps you do not really enjoy that kind of reading and prefer biographies and books of history. Explain yourself clearly.
