letter of complaint

in my letter the audience i aimed my letter towards was ciggarettes companies and there advertising. the reason i aimed my letter towards these people were because i saw a pregnant woman smoking a ciggarette in a parking lot and it really upset me. i also wanted to aim my letter towards pregnant women and/or moms because i know this would make a big impact on them and they would feel the same way as i did.
the way i organized my paragraphs was by using my first rough copy that we wrote in class and i took my main ideas from those paragraphs and put them all together. i made sure my first and last sentances were very strong. i wanted to pull the reader in and i also wanted to allow them to leave with a strong view on my point. i made sure to have a valid arugument in each paragraph.
the area that i felt needed more work was my transition words for each paragraph. i wanted it to sound very professional so i tried my best. i felt as though therefore and however were boring transition words and i feel like i need more ideas on how to flow my paragraphs. i remember in high school i had a list of htem that helped make my writing stronger, i should probably make a new list.

  1. that is a very strong topic and i feel the same way. people are not aware of what they are doing to themselves. writing from a rough copy always works good you always pick up on your mistakes and add more information the second time around. transitioning is a hard thing to do it takes a lot of practice to get it right. my advice would be to find a book on whatever your writing about or an article and see what they did to transition between paragraphs since their a professional. this has always helped me when i have writers block.

  2. My biggest question is where or who do you plan on sending this letter to? I like your audience because I can see the clear connection to your purpose or overall complaint but who could you send this letter to?
