on Robert

In a letter essay of at least two 12-font double-spaced pages, please provide a personal answer to this question:

Is Robert a good friend to Gordon?

With specific reference to Veronicas Poetry (to the friends conversations, to Roberts influences on Gordon, including his encouraging his friend to pursue the girl, to the encounter in the mangroves, to Roberts volatile spring romance, to his socializing with Veronica & her high-class pals & his good news of her death), discuss Roberts strengths as a friend (if any) & his failings as a friend (if any).

Please write your letter in first person singular & address it to your readerme. (If youd like, you may imagine yourself a friend to Gordon at the time & write to him about Robert.) Work primarily with Veronicas Poetry & My Case Against Robert (forthcoming 2/26) to develop your own thoughts & feelings. (Thoughts are cognitionsthe ideas, opinions, & interpretations generated by your mind. Feelings are emotional states or physical sensations. Rereading Veronica’s Poetry can change how you think & feel about Robert.)
