Quick Write

Question:Imagine you are a crew member stranded on a deserted island after a terrible shipwreck. You find yourself surrounded by the vast sea, with nothing but the waves and the distant cries of seabirds to keep you company. As you look out at the endless horizon, you decide to write a letter and place it in a bottle, hoping someone will find it and come to your rescue.

Your task: Write a letter from the perspective of this crew mate. Describe what happened during the shipwreck, how you ended up on the island, and what the island looks and feels like. Share your thoughts, fears, and hopes. What do you miss from home? What do you see and hear around you? What do you hope for in the future? When you're ready, type your letter in the submission box below! Please copy the prompt into the box and then type your response.
