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 plead for their release on the grounds that:
The first reason is that many young lives have been wasted for years and I can not bear to lose more.
The second reason is because they have plenty more time in their lives to become warriors and protect the world.
My third reason is that we are running out of people in the city and there are no more young people in the city if you eat the nine young youths.
My conclusion is that you should not eat the youths as one day we will have no more people for you to eat.
Yours faithfully,
King of Athens
