A few questions!

Mr. Korman,

Greetings! I hope all is well with you. My name is Emmett. I am a senior in high school and am currently doing an assignment for school that requires me to answer a few questions. While it may appear as if I am simply being lackadaisical by not doing my own research to find the answer to the questions, my intentions were more geared towards getting the most authentic and up-to-date answers possible—straight from my chosen author himself! You are neither obliged to answer any questions nor are you expected to. With this being said, I would be extremely appreciative if you could please help me out. Here are the questions below:

• 

  How does the author’s background and life experience influence their writing?

• 

  Were there any significant moments (historical or personal) that influenced the author’s life?

• 

  What about this author’s background qualifies him or her to write about [INSERT TOPIC HERE]?

• 

  Who are the author’s literary influences? 

As previously stated, you do not have to answer any of my questions and even if you did it would have to be before 11am on Wednesday so I honestly would be shocked if you did! 

Have a great rest of your week.

Respectfully,

Emmett Foster Dix
