Blog Post Assignment 10

Dear Adviser

            My name is Grant Wiggins, and I need help. First, I'll start by giving you a synopsis of the situation at hand. My aunt wants me to make her god-son, Jefferson, a "man" before he dies. He was on trial for a triple murder and theft; his appointed lawyer label him to be a hog in order to his intelligence and innocence. My aunt and I visited Jefferson 3 times, but reaped little to no progress of getting through to him. Today, my aunt was pretending to be sick, so I could visit Jefferson alone. I was humiliating for me at first, but gathered the will to go visit him. I just seen him, and achieve nothing. I know my aunt will be upset and heartbroken once she finds out what really happen during my visit. Should I lie about what happened or tell the truth? If not, what do you think I should do?

                                                                                                       Sincerely,
                                                                                                     Grant Wiggins
