Dear Mrs. Gubler,
I heard that you wanted to bring a famous writer to our school, I would like you to bring (or Skype) Lemony Snicket. If he's alive then he could teach us a couple of things about how to address the reader about the description of words in a situation. Such as (page 110 of The Bad Beginning) :Kalus sighed and relinquished--a word which here means ´give to Count Olaf even though he didn´t want to´:. Another reason is that he addresses the fact that this is a sad book on the back of the book (and yes, in letter version too). He also addresses that this is a book multiple times through out the book. The book series that he made is so good that it got a movie. Those are some reasons to why I want Lemony Snicket to come to our school to help young writers.
With all due respect,
Jack Musser
Great letter Jack! I really like how you incorporated specific questions. As you revise, be sure to put the text in quotes. Well done and you had me smiling because I could literally hear your voice reading this!
