Your comment:
- Read the background and transcript of the following exchange between Virginia O'Hanlon and Francis P. Church: Yes, Virginia, There is a Santa Claus
- Analyze the rhetorical strategies that Church uses to uniquely reassure Virginia.
- Write an original, creative response of your own back to Virginia. I don't care so much what you say, but how you say it. If you were given Church's monumental task, how would you approach it? You can be funny, serious, lighthearted, etc. Choose the tone and examples that you think are most appropriate.
