use ONLY 10 SENTENCES, the FIRST must be the thesis
HINTS: your first sentence is the thesis (see this week’s writing lecture). It will answer the question. You cannot in nine sentences fully address the question, so you must narrow your focus.

SECOND PART of assignment
write 150 words (minimum for credit) about the character Medea OR whether revenge in romance is ever acceptable.

In our world, do men or women have the advantage (because of social, political, economic power, for example)? Or come up with your own take on the story… Open ended.
