Writing Prompt for
“The Lady or the Tiger?”

Although “The Lady or the Tiger?” may seem to be a frustrating story without a clear ending, many argue that it does have a concrete ending, the reader just has to interpret it. Choose whether you think the lady or the tiger was behind the door and use specific examples from the story to prove your point. There is evidence for both sides, so either choice can be a good answer as long as you argue it well. Write at least one and a half pages and use several specific examples and quotations from the story to support your theory.
