The Joads have learned a lot during their time at Weedpatch Camp. Life in the comfortable community is good but can't last forever, and things are going to get difficult. But somewhere in a moment of quiet, in a moment of solitude, each Joad has written a letter. Maybe the letter is to Muley Graves. Maybe it's a letter from Rose of Sharon to Connie. Maybe it's a letter to the land. Maybe it's a letter from Winfield to Noah. You get the idea. Regardless, your assignment is to 1. select a Joad from whom to write a letter and 2. select a recipient of such a letter. And then ...
Guidelines
1. The letter must contain at least FIVE specific pieces of textual evidence about the journey and life thus far.
2. The letter must accurately capture the tone and mindset of the writer.
3. The letter must be in proper letter form (i.e. salutation, paragraphing, concluding sentiment, signature line, etc)
Before beginning, think about what it means to take on the voice of a character and try to mimic their language/style.
