Write a piece like ''Girl", providing instructions/advice for appropriate behavior in your own culture/town,etc. think about the advice that would be relevant in each of these social relationships. What are the activities that the person being spoken to will need to learn how to do?
What, if any rules does the person need to be aware of? What behaviors are allowed or disallowed in your chosen setting? What piece of advice can the speaker provide? My piece will be A Mother talking to her son.
It should be approximately 1 page singled space, 12 font.
Clearly establish who the speaker is and who is being spoken to through textual clues.
Address each of the questions listed above at some point in your text.
