HW:

Persuasive Letter

•       “Story of an Hour” was considered daring in the 19^th century – at least two editors refused it because they considered it immoral.  They wanted Chopin to soften her female character, to make her less independent and unhappy in her marriage.

•       Write a letter to one of these editors trying to persuade them to print this story.  Consider your audience and their attitudes and how to best convince them.

•       Your letter must have at least 3 main points in support of your claim, must cite details from the story, and must be neatly typed in a business letter format.
