I would ask your teacher to clarify the prompt for you, since, to the best of my knowledge, its current wording makes no sense, for the reason given in my previous post. It may be that Tom Scott entered into some sort of agreement with the Metis that he later broke, I suppose. Why don't you do some research on him, and post a summary of what you find. Then, it will be much easier to help you fashion a thesis, because we will have some idea of Tom Scott's history upon which to base it.
