       Find (and mark) the thesis statement
       Identify (and mark) Bagaric’s most compelling reasons for justifying
       torture in his essay
       Find (and mark) illustrations (specific details, quotes, statistics, or
       real-life examples) he uses to support his reasons.
       Find (and mark) the issues he addresses in his counterargument.

   Using Johnson’s essay “Inhuman Behavior: A Chaplains View of
   Torture (268):
       Find (and mark) the thesis statement
       Identify (and mark) Johnson’s most compelling reasons for justifying
       torture in his essay
       Find (and mark) illustrations (specific details, quotes, statistics, or
       real-life examples) he uses to support his reasons
       Find (and mark) the issues he addresses in his counterargument.
