I believe this assignment was to compose a section from Goethes Die Leiden des jungen Werther (The Sorrows of Young Werther) from an alternate perspective.

Once, I was asked how I came up with the voice for this. All I could recall was trying to make it sound as though it had been translated from German. Thats why Lotte refers to dinner as evening bread (Abendbrot). Ich denke es ist nicht zu furchtbar (I dont think its too terrible).

This entry, to be placed directly following Werthers...
