COMPARE AND CONTRAST: Nellie Bly wants to access a "mad-house" from which other people would want to escape. Imagine that the
speaker of "Sympathy” is an inmate being wrongly held there and that
Bly conducts an interview with the inmate. Write a brief account as Bly
might for her newspaper. Be sure to show the contrasts between the
two situations, relying on evidence from both texts.
