Prompt: Pretend you are the friend of one of the characters. Write him or her a letter.
First off, this letter is going to be from a boy named Dill to the main characters Scout. It might be a little confusing to readers who haven't read the book, so I'm going to give some background information on the part of the book that I'm going to be covering. (Don't worry, the book won't be spoiled) The young girl, Scout, her brother Jem, and good friend Dill previously have planned to make their legendary neighbor come out of his house, but haven't succeeded. They decided to drop the idea for a little while, but I'm deciding to bring it back. By the way, Scout and Dill are supposedly "engaged" even though they are both very very young.
Dear Scout,
How are you doing? I'm sorry I haven't seen you at all this summer, I hope you've been doing ok without me. How's Jem? Are you guys still getting along fine? Well anyways, I've been thinking, remember the old Radley house next door to you? I know we've kind of given up on making Boo Radley come out, but honestly, I think it'd be a lot of fun to keep that going when I come back next summer. Ask Jem what he thinks about it.
I'm having a great time back at home, even though I'm not with you. My new daddy says I'm growing up real fine. I'll tell you all about him when I come back to Maycomb next summer. Forget about me though, I heard there was a fire on your block! I really hope you and the family are ok, make sure you tell me all about it when you write back!
Tell everyone I said hi and sent my best wishes. Write back, I plan to have a lot of fun next year.
Love, Dill
PS. I promise we will get married when I come back.
Don't forget to add a picture and indent next time. Overall great blog! This book seems very interesting
ReplyDeleteWait so Scout and Dill are "engaged" because when I was reading earlier it said how Dill was madly in love with Scout and she's the only one for her I was really confused but I like how she punched him in the stomach TWICE! Anyways nice letter and I got it, although I am not that far in the book so thanks for the little spoiler Samuel
ReplyDeleteInteresting letter! I like how you use textual evidence, to craft a letter from Dill's point of view. Where are you now in the book?
