Blog Assignment #4: Persuasive Argument for the Prosecution of Edward Hyde
I would go against Mr.Hyde and Henry Jekyll becasue Jekyll decided to create a very dangerous monster without realizing the grave consequences. He made the decision to become Mr.Hyde knowing how dangerous that was. He gave into his addiction and Mr.Hyde ended up killing Sir Danvers Carew and there is a witness and evidence to prove it. So I would be the prosecuter for Dr.Jekyll and Mr.Hyde. Henry Jekyll was very selfish and irresponsible to decide to have two sides a good and pure evil one. Mr.Hyde was totally out of control and he knew it but he continued because of his crazy addiction.

I gather that you are settled on prosecuting Mr. Hyde. Remember when writing this piece that you are the prosecutor and therefore you must take on that point of view. Your audience is the jury of Victorian citizens. Consider what you know about the society of Victorian London and use this when determining your most effective reasons. Remember that you should have your typical introduction and conclusion which should be powerfully worded in order to convince your audience to convict Mr. Hyde. The middle of your writing should focus on the reasons to convict Mr. Hyde. The details of course should be as specific as possible. Use the details from the text to your advantage. Hint: For courtroom language, consider watching clips from Law and Order or other courtroom TV dramas on youtube. Your word choice should be convincing and realistic. Best of luck.
