Answer the following questions about the essay.
1. Chris Lebron begins his essay with one striking sentence: “I don’t know how many days are left in my life.” Why do you think he begins his essay this way? Is it an effective opening sentence?
2. How does Lebron organize his illustrations? Is this organization effective? How else could he have ordered his examples?
3. The founders of America are a key reference in this essay. Why does Lebron rely on a historical source like this? Does this make his essay stronger or weaker? Explain your answer.
4. Lebron focuses his essay on fatal shootings by police, but does not discuss any other types of discrimination. Why do you think he chose to focus his essay in this way? Is it effective? Why or why not?
5. At the end of his essay, Lebron says, “And there’s still the small matter of the luck that runs out.” What does he mean? Since he hasn’t discussed luck in his essay up to this point, do you think this is an effective final thought?
Answers will vary.
