Creating and Presenting - context!

[ashleya]

I am writing an extremely personal letter from a mother to her daughter for my creating and presenting SAC.
except i'm having some difficulty working out the context. where would a personal letter be published?
help? anyone?

It probably wouldn't be published?

[brenden]

Yeah, what you write doesn't have to be published? Where did you get that impression?

[ashleya]

we were taught that context was where the piece would be published...?
or maybe published was the wrong word.
i just want to know what the context would be for a personal letter.

I'm confused. What do you mean by context? Why is the letter being written?

[lexitu]

Context, with a capital C, is the particular topic you are studying. For example, Identity and Belonging. Your piece is meant to explore, either directly or indirectly, the ideas of your Context. You most definitely do not need to write as though the piece will be published. This said though, even personal letters can be published - in a biography, for example.
