Burgermeister’s Daughter Narrative

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.

Construct your essay using standard paragraphs. Essays should be between three and five pages, in standard format to receive credit. Remember to cite information from the book as you construct your narrative.

While citation may seem to violate the authenticity of the narrative, for the purposes of historical thinking it helps me to see what from the book informed your narrative.
