Question

Write an introductory and closing paragraph of a letter to the author in which you tell him/her what you learned about the writing process from reading his book.

Answer 1

Dear J.K. Rowling I really appreciated your book "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince". The serious tone Harry uses when speaking truly underlines dire times felt within the wizarding world. I could never find the right words to use when setting my plot, but I was truly inspired by your use of diction to control the tempo of a long narrative. This tempo control ran throughout the text, emotionally tying specific plot devices to the perspective of a character and framing their state of being. In conclusion, I hope my writing can glimpse a shadow of your craft. When I write in first person, as you did with Harry, I often now compare my use of language to your descriptive tendencies and search for improvements. Not writing extremely long sentences, or using out of character phrasing, but instead giving just enough detail to paint a vivid picture. If this gets to you, I hope you can write me back, I've attatched a pdf of a recent poem and hope you can give me some notes. Thank you, Sincerly...
