An example was when he used a quote from his favorite poet Mary Oliver. Included are email responses from Harper and at times other celebrities that he used to provide additional wisdom.īecause the author constantly refers to incidents in his own life when speaking a subject, this work would be interpreted by the historical/biographical approach. The responses are answers to questions that the author was asked during speaking engagements at middle and high schools across the country.

I didn’t know if the letters were part of a autobiographical novel, or a coming of age story, where one sibling was writing to another sibling. When I looked at the title of the book, I knew that the book had something to do with letters. Letters to a Young Brother Manifest Your Destiny
