Not to be rude, but I think you would be much better off writing about dead poets and writers that have influenced your writing, and perhaps taking note of any professors at Berkeley that teach certain courses relevant to the type of English you’re interested in - Comparative Lit, French lit, etc. Your appeal letter must be about the academic lust you have for Cal. Moreover, the letters of recommendation you have should also support your skills as a writer, and your ability to handle the heavy writing assignments that Cal will have.
