ACTIVITY

Imagine it is the night after the events of The Lesson. Write a letter either from Mick to Michael or from Michael to Mick. The focus of the letter should about expectations of masculinity. If you are Mick, tell Michael why you are teaching him boxing and why it is so important for him to be a strong man. If you are Michael, explain to your dad why you dont think it is important to be a boxer, and why you got so angry during the fight. When writing your letter, consider the aspects of masculinity that we discussed in class and how they might influence your Mick/Michaels thinking. Word count: 300 words Due: Tuesday
