*Checklist
  1. Statement/stance is clear: choose either "hero" or "tyrant"
  2. No "I think" statements
  3. The introduction sentence and the concluding sentence are only one sentence each
  4. Use transition words (firstly, secondly, lastly, also, in addition, furthermore, to conclude)
  5. Make sure to include facts (dates, names, statistics, explanations, etc.)
