informal letter

For this writing assignment, choose one of the prompts below and write an informal letter to a friend or family member.  You need to put yourself in the shoes of someone living during the applicable time period.  Modern notions of law, justice, etc. are not relevant, for example.  Even though this is an informal letter, you need to include direct evidence from the required readings (quoted material) to support your ideas.

Your letter must be at least three full pages long, excluding the title page / header and bibliography.  The sources provided must be the foundation of your paper.  You do not need any outside sources to complete your assignment successfully.
