In a clear and coherent paragraph of 200-300 words, discuss Mel's statement "[Your mother] was an inspiration to us all". In refusing to identify herself as Canadian, do you think the mother is making a political statement, intending to become a "cause"? Or is she following her heart? Or is she simply being stubborn? Do you agree that she is "an inspiration to us all"? Your topic sentence should identify the title of the story as well state your opinion. Make reference to the text in your paragraph by using direct quotes. Use the ACE-it paragraph writing strategy which was explained in the book called 1.2 Reading and Responding to Prose.
