Kia ora
In writing we had to pretend we are the King of Athens. We wrote a letter to King Minos, pleading for the lives of the youths who are to be fed to the Minotaur.
We had to give at least 3 reasons why their lives should be spared.
This one is mine.
Hope you enjoy!
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:
Firstly, they have done absolutely nothing to deserve to be served to a beast like the Minotaur.
Secondly, these youths could grow up to be fine warriors for your kingdom and murdering them could be the worst mistake of your life.
Finally ,killing innocent youths is not going to bring your son back to life.
So in conclusion, the youths will be dying for no good reason and will never live successful lives
or be warriors.
Yours faithfully,
King of Athens
