Letter to a Friend of Family Member: Select two assigned readings and pick a common theme within these. Using this common idea/theme, write a letter to a friend or family member explaining the connection between the two essays (or the common theme). Pick one theme and give several examples of it from each text explaining how these are related and what similarities or differences exist as they address similar issues. Unlike the letter to the author, this letter should assume a different tone because the audience is changed. And in this letter, you need to give a brief summary of the articles because your friends have most likely not read these. So first, provide a summary (not more than 5-6 lines) of the main points of the essays. And then, you will discuss common themes within these essays. Remember to not just mention the common themes, but also discuss the ways in which the authors support their main points. This letter should be 750 words. Again, make sure youre looking at the texts rhetorically, not merely mentioning what you liked or disliked in the essays.
