Writing Assignment
Take on the persona of Okonkwo, and write a letter to a friend describing a major event in your life. You can make up a friend or use a character from the book. The event must be true to the story. In the letter, you must //briefly// describe the event or what happened. Then, for the main part of your letter, describe any aspect you wish. There is a lot of freedom here. You can ask your friend for help, describing what you need him/her to do. You can say how you are feeling and what your next move will be. You can write how this event changed you or your family. Another topic could be what you've learned from this event. You must also stay true to the style and time period of the novel, including the language usage and believable events. Make sure your letter is, in fact, in letter format. Your letter should be about a page and a half to two pages. Get creative!
