Write a brief reaction of 300-500 words in length to this letter.
What you write is completely up to you, but it should consist of your personal reaction to reading the piece. Simple reflections and feelings are completely acceptable here. These reactions are meant to be slightly informal, insofar as I wanted to get a sense of your reaction to the piece immediately after you’ve read it. Try not to spend too much time dwelling on your thoughts after reading the piece – just jot them down!
