Description

After reading Ozment’s The Burgermeister’s Daughter, write an essay assuming the role of either: Lady Schenkin (Erasmus’s mother), Hermann Büschler (Anna’s father), Anna Büschler, or Daniel Treutwein. You may choose to show a correspondence between these people rather than just focusing on one individual.

Discuss Anna’s behavior from the selected perspective, address the early rumors which circulated through the town, and also include your observations on Anna’s exile from Hall and the subsequent court battle between Anna and her family.

Remember to make the format of your narrative clear (journal entry, letter, etc.) and to consider the audience of the narrator in order to make clear the motivation for the telling of the story.
