Class Work Monday Week 2 - Imaginative Response

Look at the advertisement picture again and plan an imaginative response which involves the girl as a character and which challenges the representation of growing up constructed in the advertisement. Your choice of genre and your choice of point of view. You could write as the girl or as one of her friends or as her parent.  You could narrate an event, write a letter, write a journal entry or a news report.


Henry,

In regards of the matter of our daughter’s appeal for attending “schoolies” in the next month, you need to gain some trust in her. I understand it may be difficult for you to embrace her growth and independence through your awfully infrequent visits. Perhaps you could consider spending a week in our guest room to spend some well-need quality time with Elise. Our divorce is of the past; it’s our daughter who needs you in her life.

I guarantee Elise has indeed matured into a responsible young lady. You need to treat her as such. It was wrong of you to forbid her from attending her formal after-party. How could you ruin an enjoyable night for our girl? She has produced wonderful results throughout the year and is looking to pursue law and communications next year. Were you even aware of that? God, Henry, when will you step up and be a father?

Nonetheless, I’m rambling off topic. That’s a discussion for another day. What I’m trying to get across to you is this: Elise is capable of making smart decisions in terms of parties and such. I can especially assure you of this; I did in fact supervise her seventeenth birthday party. You should definitely spend some time with her sometime soon. Maybe you will be convinced of her sensible demeanour. Hopefully this would sway your decision towards her attendance of “schoolies”.

Please take this email into consideration.

Kind regards,


Rebecca.
