You have read two passages, Watership Down and “How the Zebra Got His Stripes,” both of which explain the origins of animals’ physical traits. Explain how both authors use conflict to explain these origin stories and to reveal lessons about life. In your essay, consider the similarities and differences between the characters and how they are developed. Write a well-organized, text-dependent response. Be sure to save time to edit and review your work for complete sentences, spelling, punctuation, and appropriate language.
