Essay topics: TPO-08 - Integrated Writing Task
Toward the end of his life, the Chevalier de Seingalt (1725-1798) wrote a long memoir recounting his life and adventures. The Chevalier was a somewhat controversial figure, but since he met many famous people, including kings and writers, his memoir has become a valuable historical source about European society in the eighteenth century. However, some critics have raised doubts about the accuracy of the memoir. They claim that the Chevalier distorted or invented many events in the memoir to make his life seem more exciting and glamorous than it really was.
For example, in his memoir the Chevalier claims that while living in Switzerland, he was very wealthy, and it is known that he spent a great deal of money there on parties and gambling. However, evidence has recently surfaced that the Chevalier borrowed considerable sums of money from a Swiss merchant. Critics thus argue that if the Chevalier had really been very rich, he would not have needed to borrow money.
Critics are also skeptical about the accuracy of the conversations that the Chevalier records in the memoir between himself and the famous writer Voltaire. No one doubts that the Chevalier and Voltaire met and conversed. However, critics complain that the memoir cannot possibly capture these conversations accurately, because it was written many years after the conversations occurred. Critics point out that it is impossible to remember exact phrases from extended conversations held many years earlier.
Critics have also questioned the memoir's account of the Chevalier's escape from a notorious prison in Venice, Italy. He claims to have escaped the Venetian prison by using a piece of metal to make a hole in the ceiling and climbing through the roof. Critics claim that while such a daring escape makes for enjoyable reading, it is more likely that the Chevaliers jailers were bribed to free him. They point out that the Chevalier had a number of politically well-connected friends in Venice who could have offered a bribe.
The reading passage suggests that many critics do not believe the memoir that was written by a famous person Chevalier de Seingalt although the memoir was an important source of history in Europe. On the other hand, the lecturer claims that the memoir was most accurate and reliable by providing much support on this.
The professor claims that Chevalier has debt in Swiss merchant bank that does not mean he was poor. She puts forth that it might happen that Chevalier sold his wealth and spent all the cash money for enjoying parties and gambling. Again he required more money for that purposes that put him in debt.
Second, the professor suggests that there was strong evidence that Chevalier used to take note on a regular basis that means every night. So there is little chance to forget all the phrases in the conversation that the critics mentioned in the passage.
In the last, the professor also strongly support Chevalier memoir by raising a question that, if Chevalier provides bribe to the jailer to escape him, then why are other strong prisoners than Chevalier could not escape from the jail? Again she adds to her argument, the government has to repair the ceiling that clearly illustrates he actually escaped from the jail by climbing through the roof.
