Start by carefully considering the context and occasion of the letter, both as personal correspondence and as read aloud by Mark Twain to an audience. Then discuss its purpose and how the interaction among the speaker, audience, and subject affects the text. How does the letter appeal to ethos, pathos, and logos? Finally, how effective do you believe Keller's letter is, and why?

Hello i’m a florida 16 year old female, turning 17 in august and my boyfriend in 17 turning 18 in august as well a couple weeks before my birthday. it’s currently june 3rd, i told my mom today that i am dating him. we’ve been dating for about 5 months. i told her out of respect because i didn’t want to hide anything anymore. she said that he will not be welcome in our home, she does not want to meet him or his parents, she will get police involved if she has to to make sure he stays away from me. if she does get police involved will he get in trouble and did i do anything wrong? i’m familiar with the romeo and juliet law and don’t think we’ll get in trouble but i need reassurance.
