Tattoos and persuasive letters
- Two different viewpoints.
1) You just read two articles on tattoos. Now imagine that you are a teenage boy or girl named Terry writing a letter asking your parent or grandparent if you can get a tattoo. Explain the reasons why you want one. Try to persuade that person. Explain your reasons. Argue your case. Maybe you want to include things/reasons like self-expression, symbolism, art, etc.
2) Now write a letter from the adult to the teen explaining why getting a tattoo is a horrible idea, and persuade the teen NOT TO DO IT. Explain why you won’t give permission. Use reasons like the fear of infection, they are painful, hard to remove, the permanence of the tattoo, a tattoo might cost you a job, people might prejudge you, feelings change, people have regrets, etc.
Be sure to write your name and period in the upper right hand corner. Use friendly letter format. Sign with fake names or you can use real names. Each letter should be at least a half page paragraph. Write one on the front and one on the back of a sheet. Keep the first draft in your notebook, and hand in a final draft. If you type the final, you may put both letters on one side.
