Exercise #422: Debate
Posted  5/27/11

A new category! While listening to the music from “Heartbeats,” I was struck by the lead woman’s reminiscence about high school dating. She was waiting for her Prince Charming, but then notes in her soon-to-be forty-year-old voice, “There’s really no such thing.”

For today’s exercise, take a side and present your argument. Is there such a thing as a Prince Charming? Show us evidence to support your side.

Critiquers, you might choose to answer these questions for critiquing the piece:
     * Did you catch any spelling errors or other standard proofreading items? If so, note them for the author.
     * Do you agree with the author’s argument? Is so, what swayed you? If not, why not?
