write to your form teacher a letter of permission to be absent from school. state your reasons to be absent

Explanation

Dear Sir Myles,

I  am writing this missive or letter to ask  for permission to be absent from school for the next three days. The reason to be absent is that I have lost my grandmother who died three weeks ago in California so my family and I will be travelling to prepare for her funeral so I will not be in school for three days. We need to pack up to get ready for our journey.

Hope my reason for my absence from school will be taken into consideration.

Yours Sincerely,

Ifeyinwa

i’m writing a memoir and i’ve been given the great suggestion of placing a ‘sub-narrative’ within some of the chapters – sort of, what was going on with me in the grand scheme of things.

i was wondering how to format this so that it is very obvious we are stepping out the of story.

firstly is a change in font from serif to sans workable? i also use dashes for a scene change. was thinking of using a different scene-changer too.

here’s a (shortened) example:

university – or what’s known as ‘uni’ in australia – were some of the best days of my life. where else do you get to potter around in a great location, have very little responsibility, learn lots of things, do lots of things and walk out four years later with a bonus – a degree!

with my university years i had immersed myself into community of intelligent ambitious people. generally everyone had a confidence about themselves. they knew where they were going in life and weren’t threatened by others.

(sorry couldn’t show the fonts in this comment field)

too much?

b. and i with my fighting heart, i thought at

first / to steal up to him [the cyclops].   the cyclops’ actions first odysseus to take

action after killing his men and trapping in the cave revealed his intent of

doing them harm.   that is why odysseus

blinded him to enable him and his men to escape.
