Instruction
In your essay you will first discuss the advantages and disadvantages (you may decide which side you wish to discuss first) to hosting the Olympic Games and then weigh in on whether you think it is a good or bad idea for a city/country to host the Games. I recommend starting with the opposing side, followed by the side you share, before then, in logical consequence, weighing in with why you think that second side/position is stronger/preferable.
Your essay should be roughly 4 pages in length, followed by a Works Cited page, in MLA format, and utilize four sources.
