Realization Letter
“Do any human beings ever realize life while they live it—every, every, minute?” --Emily Webb


 * __Directions__**: Write a letter to someone you know. Persuade him/her to //realize// something. There is one stipulation: write in a __kind__ tone. This is easier said than done.

Here’s a blueprint for your draft:


 * 1) Open on a lighter note.
 * 2) Use sensory language to help the reader relive a __specific situation__.
 * 3) Demonstrate an understanding of his/her side of things.
 * 4) Explicitly state the realization you’re after. Explain why this realization is so important. What’s in it for the reader? What’s in it for you?
 * 5) End on a positive and encouraging note.
 * 6) Tips: Avoid absolutes like “always” and “never.” Avoid overusing “you.”
