Topic

Using James Joyce’s “Eveline” as your primary source, write a love letter from

1. Eveline to Frank,
2. Frank to Eveline, or
3. Eveline to her father (daughter to father not romantic love).

Requirements
1. MLA style with Times Roman, 12 pt., double spacing.
2. Minimum 250 words. Maximum 300 words.
3. One primary source. You may use secondary sources, but you are not required to.

This is a love letter, so it should look like a love letter—with “Dear So and So, … ” and perhaps you might end it with “Love, … ” Or maybe not. Be creative.
