Question 2

2.

Write: Billy Weaver’s fate would have surely unfolded differently if he had walked away from the glowing bed and breakfast window and continued on to The Bell and Dragon. (Hindsight, as the saying goes, is always 20/20.) In a thorough CER paragraph, analyze the pros and cons of staying at the bed and breakfast that Billy considers while standing out in the cold before his fate is sealed. Does he make a logical choice? Be sure to use specific evidence from the text, as well as your own inferences, to support your claims.
