BLOG ASSIGNMENT #2 "Bluffing"

The short story "Bluffing" describes a grizzly attack in Jasper National Park. One of the main characters, Liam, claims that he ran away from the bear so that it would follow him and therefore he would save the life of his girlfriend, Gabriella.

 Is he telling the truth? This requires a close reading of the story and the ability to support your contention with specific examples.

Write a paragraph that supports your opinion of Liam's statement. Is he a coward or a hero? Your paragraph should include the following:

*Write in third person.
*Use present tense.
*Consider a dynamic introduction - question, quote, statement.
*Mention the title and author in your brief plot summary.
*Make sure you have a clear topic sentence. (Is he truthful or not?)
*Provide three reasons to support your opinion, include a direct reference (quote) for each.
*Finish with some punch - make sure your conclusion is creative.

*Double space.

*Hit the orange "Publish" tab when you are finished.

*Print a copy and submit it at the end of the period.
