Letter+to+the+Editor

Hey, folks. For this letter, are we arguing for or against? We ( Tristan, ** Keith **, and I) decided that we were writing to Gunther. So, brainstorm people! What are we doing?

Melanie agrees too! Ya I'm not left out! I vote we argue for or against, I don't care. We could have one person do the lead and the ending, and the other 3 people can write a paragraph. Okay? I need the input! I'm not sure I want to do the intro and con, but I could. I'd almost rather do a paragraph, though. I agree with you Emma, so, Emma and I will be doing a paragraph each. Keith and Tristan have a duel and figure out what you are going to do. Hurry!

Are we arguing for Body Worlds, or against to Gunther? Well, if it was for, the letter would be all "//oh, your so smart, thank-you for discovering this wonderful thing, blah, blah, blah.//", while if it was against, we could be all ragin', with yelling, and lots of use of caps lock. Am I right? So, who's doing the lead and conclusion? Tristan, or **Keith **? I vote rock, paper, scissors duel. 3/5. Today.

Lead/Conclusion : Tristan  Paragraphs(x3) : Melanie, Emma, **Keith ** And: AGAINST, in case you didn't catch that. __**Topics for Paragraphs: **__ <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #351664; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Emma- Families <span style="color: #008080; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Melanie- <span style="color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Yucky

Here it be, the Letter to the Editor. Enjoy.

Tristan : Introduction Dear Gunther Von Hagens, We are enraged and befouled by your idea and creation of your so called body worlds. We are to believe that you ignore the Law of Nature with these ABOMINATIONS! We concur that these statemeant of greeving moments, violations of human nature and how inhumanly it is. These are examples.

<span style="color: #008080; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Melanie : First Paragraph <span style="color: #008080; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Mr. von Hagens, as much as I know what angle your coming from, I am going to have to say Body Worlds is a very disgusting museum and should not be allowed to exist any longer than two seconds after reading this message! I hope you realize that those bodies, that are said to be science, were alive at one point! Have you ever considered that some people may feel very opposed to the thought of plastic bodies being displayed in a traveling circus? No? Well...//“Body Worlds is Disgusting, inhumane, disgraceful...”//- Emma Johns. Seeing that such an important person has said such things about your exhibitions, I hope you consider closing Body Worlds... **<span style="color: #008080; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> PERMANENTLY! **

**Keith** : Second Paragraph There has also been a lot of talk about the Body Worlds exhibition on wether or not they should be allowed,I have a couple reasons why they should NOT be allowed. First, In January 2004, the German news magazine Der Speigel reported that Gunther von Hagens had acquired corpses of executed prisoners in China. Second, In 2007 The Bishop of Manchester launched a campaign to coincide with the opening of Body Worlds in that city, accusing the exhibitors of being "body snatchers" and "robbing the NHS"(National Health Society).Thirldy and Lastly, In 2003, while promoting a display in the Hamburg Museum of Erotica, Von Hagens announced his intention to create a sex plastinate. In May 2009 he unveiled a plastinate of a couple having sex, intended for a Berlin exhibition. I want to know why somebody would do that... anyways Body Worlds have plenty of reasons why they SHOULDN'T be allowed.

Emma : Third Paragraph Another thing to consider is the families of the donors. What would it be like, instead of visiting a grave, to visit an exhibit? Did you even consider that when you first started this horrific circus? How could you face that? Your loved one, your wife/ mother/ sister/ daughter torn apart and posed for the world to see, to laugh at. What if your child died? Could you peel their skin off? Could you watch as your child was mutilated, treated as an object, a frog to be dissected? I feel for the families of your "exhibits", and hope that you will soon be shut down, if only so that there will be less grieving families.

Tristan : Conclusion After reading about how it discustes people and how unhuman like it is, how much contreversy it has stired up and how greeving it would be for family members to see their dead family members.
