In writing position paper, there are two texts that can be used which "The Merry Maid" or "The Great Injustice". I choose to work on "The Great Injustice" because this short story had never been discussed in the class.
The first step in writing position paper is deciding the arguable opinion about an issue or opinion. In "The Great Injustice", the issue of oppression within the society. Ah Nya, the main character had put the blame the on society for her action (abortion). This statement is arguable because the society serve it purpose as setting the boundary according to culture. It is the real issue with genuine controversy and uncertainty.
By addressing this issue, the two distinct position can be create which is the side that agree the society as an oppression or the society as the culture preservation.
However, I am not sure whether this issue is narrow enough so that I manage to write about it concisely.
