Paragraph Prompts for The White Tiger

1. Does Balram think he is a revolutionary? (A revolutionary is a person who

fearlessly advocates for or works to create radical change)

Your topic sentence will stake a claim and provide the reason.

2. Balram has a lot to say about servitude. Choose one aspect of servitude that
he focuses on and explain how he makes his thoughts clear to us. (Focus on
what he says about the experience, how it feels, what effects it has on a
person, not on what happens.)

A strong argument will name a feeling and identify how it is expressed

see in the last chapter.)
