Take on the persona of a turkey who is vying for that coveted spot of being pardoned to a life of luxurious retirement. How would a turkey in this situation share his of her plea? What tone should your writing be? Would it be most effective to be humorous, desperate, cunning, argumentative, defensive, despondent, or something else?

Your response should be written in complete sentences with correct grammar, spelling, and capitalization. Your plea should be between 1/2 a page to one-page long (around 250 - 500 words).

It should include explanations on why the turkey should be pardoned (do they have eggs they need to take care of? Are they scrawny and don't taste good? Are they too pretty to eat? Do they dream of being the first turkey on the moon?

Be creative, but make sure to be convincing!

Mr. president I am but a simple turkey i feel as if i should be pardoned! I have kids even grandkids. I work my feather behind off everyday for them to keep them afloat. How would you feel taking a old poor turkey like myself away from his family? How do you think my kids and grandkids would react hearing the news their dear father and grandfather was MURDERED, PLUCKED, STUFFED, AND EATEN FOR DINNER! Oh the horror! I think I deserve a vacation after these long years of hard back breaking work. I've seen some things. Things you couldn't even imagine with your human brain. I've been working every single day for ten years heck I've been working since I was born fighting for my family to stay alive. I just, I just want to make it all worth it in the end. I want to make my poor dead turkey parents proud. I remember the days while we were gobbling down our breakfast my daddy would look me in the eyes and say, "son in the wise words of the beastie boys, you have to fight, for your right to party," I live by that every single day. I haven't gotten to party yet in my 10 years of living and i'd love to party into turkey retirement and through turkey retirement to my deathbed. I want to make all the turkeys up in turkey heaven proud when they look down upon me and see that I made it. I made it to turkey retirement. Now I know I'm an old turkey 10 years are the final years and sir, i'd like you take pity on me. I beg you please let me be pardoned and live these last few years happily. Please.
