When you analyze a prompt and determine that it is argumentative, you must write two possible claims. These claims should argue opposite sides. The reason why you
write two possible claims is that one will become your claim and one will become
your counterclaim. These two sentences, your claim and possible counterclaim, help
you to focus on what text evidence you are to search for when you are reading your
three sources. This way you can highlight text evidence that supports your claim and
counterclaim.

boccaccio employs the voice of his narrator dioneo to represent his ideas on the tension between masculinity and femininity.  while dioneo excites the members of the brigata and recognizes women for their unique skills and independent ideas, he concludes the decameron with a story reminiscent of the society from which these young aristocrats escaped, revealing misogynistic overtones.  dioneo boccaccio is able to explore the gender disparity which is inherent in 14th century florentine society.
