P1 | Literature homework help

1. Write a letter to a (specific) friend/classmate/dorm mate re what s/he should do to get more out of his or her education. (What if that friend doesn't want more? You might need to argue first that being invisible, etc. is not a desirable state. For some, it might be! I.e., be careful what you assume.) OR (harder!) write a letter to a professor, suggesting what he or she could do to more effectively reach students. Be careful not to simply condemn the professor, but to appeal to his or

her values, to make it seem in his or her own best interest to make specific changes.)_ Write in such a way that you could imagine _actually sending_ this to your friend or professor, and that person actually willingly receiving it (not feeling attacked or preached to) and seriously considering the changes you recommend. (Derede's note: this may be the most difficult option, b/c you have to appeal to your audience using THEIR values; you must not come across as preachy or self-righteous or whiny.)
