Pleading a Cause - Persuasive Writing       

I am leaning to write Persuasively.

I pretended I was the King of Athens.  I wrote a letter to King Minos, pleading for the lives of the youths who are to be fed to the Minotaur.

I gave at least 3 reasons why their lives should be spared.

do you think I convinst king Mions

.

Dear King Minos,

I am writing to you about the fate of the nine doomed youths.  I plead for their release on the grounds that:

My first  reason is the nine youths do not deserve to die because they didn’t do anything wrong.

My second reason is they could make a good life and it is not fair on them to die.

My third reason  is  when they are older they will make fine warriors  and families .

Now these are my reasons, so stop feeding them to that Minotaur

Yours faithfully,

King of Athens
