Scroll through the photos. Find a photo with a quote you like. Copy and and
paste the quote into Pages, Notability, or another writing app. This quote must
reflect or show someone's suffering.
After finding a photograph, you will write a letter to the subject of the photo (the
person in the picture). In the letter, you can write any or all of the following: your
thoughts about the person, your feelings towards her situation, things you have
learned about his struggle, or ways you think he can be helped. You can also
share a story of your own, even if it is somewhat random or unrelated. When
writing this, consider how you would feel in her situation, and what you'd say to
that person if you met.
This assignment will be worth 50 points.
