Write a paper

This paper will be an unconventional one and will not incorporate the standard essay style. You will write a letter by taking on the persona of a character, important personage, or author we have read and discussed this semester, and you will be writing to another character, writer, personage, etc. Your goal is to express, persuade, or convince the other person of an idea or goal you have in mind. This involves your capacity to be an empathetic reader and to see through the perspectives of the various characters we have discussed this semester. You need to think, in as much as you can, like them. I want to see you become that character when you write the letter, paying close attention to personality, worldview, and context, and point of view. Your letter should be between 600-750 words (no more), typed in size 12 font Times New Roman, with one inch margins, and double spaced. Your letter should be addressed to a specific character and should let your reader know who you are, too. Your real name should be in the top left hand corner. At least one of the people, either the writer of the letter or the recipient, must be from our reading/class discussion. Do not attempt to write in dialect or adopt the speaking or writing style of any character or writer; you must write in modern/standard English. Five points will be deducted for each formatting error. Your essay is due on Wednesday, November 30 and should look like the following:
