Imagine that the story "The Lady or the Tiger?" is true. Write a paragraph of at least 125 words giving your own opinion about one of the following questions. Use evidence from the text to support your opinion. 1. Was the king's system of trying criminals a fair one by modern standards? Why or why not?

2. If the princess had been a Christian rather than a barbarian, what would she have done? What Christian principle is involved?

3. If the princess had made the choice you think she would have made, what would probably have happened in the next scene? Consider how the princess would feel as well as the events you think might take place.

4. Can you think of any examples from daily life or the news of the day that show conflicts caused by jealousy?
