Compare the following conversations: Vanessa, your BFF since 6 th grade, wants to know all about your date with Tommy last night. Vanessa: TELL me all about it!! Me: Okay, like, oh my goodness, he showed up with a dozen roses and took me to this bomb restaurant, and we totally hung out at the pier. Vanessa: Shut up!! Me: Serious!

Now at dinner with your grandparents, they somehow found out about Tommy and want to know all about your date: Grandma: How was your date last night, dear? Me: It was delightful, Grandma. Tommy was a gentleman. Grandpa: Of course he would be – only the best for my granddaughter. Me: Tommy took me to East Side Mario’s and then we went for a walk along Main Street. Grandma: Well, isn’t that sweet!

Purpose – why are you writing this letter? Your purpose is to persuade your teacher (that would be me) to let you read your top choice novel.
