Hi, Lover! A year ago today, we went on our first date! It’s also the date you chose for the setting of Ulysses. I know you’ll be famous for that one! Happy Anniversary, James! I’ll always love you.

Yo Yo Yo, Jimmy! Heard about your new book! Areyou ever gonna get a life? Ha Ha. JK.

What up, Jimmy? PLEASE come back to Ireland. I can get you a job and work on mending fences with Robert, your publisher. I know you feel he’s wrong about Dubliners, but you can’t write about Dublin in Trieste!

Here, you will post at least four messages from authors from the past and your author’s answer to each post, for a total of eight posts.

Look for authors that influenced the style, subject matter, and themes of your writer’s major works.

Have your characters discuss the craft of writing and the world events that inspired their work. What would they say to each other if they had ever been given the chance?

If you so choose, you may construct three- or four-way dialogue. Be creative but accurately express the important ideas each of your writers.

Use the cells and format of “The Wall” or make your own, and feel free to use more than one slide.
