Pleading a Cause - Persuasive Writing       

Pretend you are the King of Athens.  Write a letter to King Minos, pleading for the lives of the youths who are to be fed to the Minotaur.

Give at least 3 reasons why their lives should be spared.

Remember to write a conclusion at the end to link your reasons together.

Dear King Minos,

I am writing to you about the fate of the nine doomed youths.I ask for you that you will let go of my people and.My first reason is I think it’s wrong to feed my innocent people to you giant beast because they have done nothing wrong.My second reason is why can’t you just feed animals to it and leave our people alone. And my last reason is he eats whoever comes in his labyrinth.so think about my reasons and I hope you agree with me   

Yours faithfully,

King of Athens
