Dear Mr. Eyre,
Paragraph One: Pitch the novel as a movie. Start with something that will get the director's attention. Mr. Eyre recieves many letters about potential movie ideas. Make him read yours. Explain what makes the introduction of the novel so great or how you might change the introduction for a movie. Include at least one direct reference worked into your sentence(s).
Paragraph Two: Choose the star. It can be an actor or a famous person or someone you know personally. Focus on character traits not just physical appearance. Include at least one direct reference worked into your sentence(s). Remember the documentary "Reel Injun" and the importance of rejecting stereotypes and choosing authentic people to portray the perspectives of the novel you are reading. Feel free to do some research on actors and directors that would best suit your movie.
Paragraph Three: Make a prediction. In a bit of detail explain what you think should happen in this novel/movie. Explain why the ending to this movie will leave audiences with a lasting connection to this film.
Sincerely,
Signature
