For Response 4, think of the cause you argued for in Response 2. (Note: consider the GENERAL belief or idea behind the specific argument in Response 2. For example, the Declaration of Independence is specifically announcing the colonists’ separation from Great Britain, but the argument is hinged on the universal understanding of situations calling for rebellion. Similarly, if your response applies specifically to your family, school, etc., consider the overarching idea on which your specific argument is hinged–something that can apply to all people).
Respond to ONE of the following prompts, and submit it as a Word Document in MLA format (poetry can be single spaced but must include the MLA heading and page number).
Recast this same general cause, idea, or belief as the theme or “moral” of a personal (true or mostly true) narrative in the spirit of Equiano’s and Jacob’s themes of the loss of innocence or Wheatley’s theme of redemption. You may write your own narrative in prose, as Equiano and Jacobs do, or you may write a short poem, as Wheatley does, capturing the theme in a story of a few lines. Your narrative or poem should clearly reflect the same theme supported in Response 2, but  should be expressed in narrative form rather than a persuasive declaration.
 
Write a poem addressed to a particular individual or group of individuals in the spirit of Wheatley’s poem to the University of Cambridge or to William, Earl of Dartmouth. Choose a relevant audience to whom you wish to plead your case, and use imagery and/or personification, as Wheatley does, to present a compelling case to the individual(s) addressed. Your poem should clearly reflect the same theme supported in Response 2, but should be expressed as poetry rather than a persuasive declaration.
