English and Literature MLA

Any topic (writer’s choice)

Consider how the Pardoner’s moral (theme) of his story is “The root of all greed is money.” Using 3 pieces of textual evidence and your own support of the text, explain how this mantra proves to be true in the story in a one-page essay response. Your response should include a defensible thesis, evidence, and commentary. Then, reference situations in contemporary society where greed is fueled by money. Use as many connections to your own personal life as you can in relation to the story.
