The Trial: Letter Blog

3/6/2016

Prompt: Pretend you are the friend of one of the characters. Write him or her a letter.

Hey Jen, how is the journalism going? Since, this is usually a really drab and boring town, I really want to know how it is going. Any juicy news or new things about a possible suspect in the kidnapping? Charles Lindbergh really does not deserve what happened. Who would take his child away anyway. I hope you find at least something. You never know this might launch your future career as a journalist. This is a story that is really important to the city and our country, so you can really capitalize with this opportunity. 

You need to jot down as many things as you can, because you never know if something is important or not, or doze off somehow. I don't even need to be around you and I can already tell how much you are excited you are about this, considering all of those headlines plastered all over your room. I feel like when this is all over you are going to save an entire wall for this headline, because it involves you. How amazing is it to have that running around in head over and over again?

Hopefully this will prepare and lead you into the world of journalism. Because if it doesn't I don't know what will. You are reporting on something that can break or relief an American hero! That is unbelievable, just saying. If anything happens in the future, say aliens attack I'll definitely know that you will be all over that when or if it does happen!
