Ulysses Composition #1

Assume that you are a member of Ulysses’ crew who has lived through the experience of becoming a pig under Circe’s spell. Choose a family member or friend to whom you would want to tell your impressions of the incident. Decide how you will relate what happened and imagine details about your hours in the sty. (Remember you are using FIRST PERSON point of view..."I was turned into a pig....") Write a letter to your friend or family member, describing how the event came about (start with Ulysses going ashore alone) and detailing how you felt as it happened. Begin your LETTER, “Dear ___, You’ll never guess what happened to me!!”
