Defend Frederic Bourdin.

In a one page single-spaced paper (Times New Roman, 12 pt. font, 1″ margins): Defend Frederic Bourdin.

In a one page single-spaced paper (Times New Roman, 12 pt. font, 1″ margins): Condemn Frederic Bourdin.

Frederic Bourdin is the imposter in the film (as you know), and he did some pretty horrendous things to innocent people.  He’s a divisive figure for sure, and the reason I’m asking you to defend him is only because the family accepted him as one of their own, even while knowing (they had to know) that he was an imposter.  They must have had their reasons (or did they, I’m still confused by their motivations).  So that’s it, two separate papers.  You can argue for them any way you want, but PLEASE be specific, and include moments from the film, your opinions on the matter, and textual information (from the textbook) to make your case.

And remember to turn these papers in as ONE DOCUMENT!
