Blog Entry #1

Imagine that you are Sanger Rainsford and have escaped from Ship-Trap Island. You have been accused of murder—the murder of General Zaroff and his servant, Ivan. Using facts (evidence) from the text (this means you should summarize and quote from the text) you must write a defense speech that will prove your innocence. The speech must be at least ten sentences long. Remember, you are trying to prove your innocence so be as detailed as possible and use evidence (actual facts and occurrences from the story, the text) to clear your name. You may even call forth eyewitnesses if you so choose.
