I hope you get this letter. I haven't seen you in forever and I hope your okay, and how are my little sisters. They germans keep moving us to different towns. We finally made it out of the camps. It was the worst thing ever. I seen so many bad things and had so many bad things happen. Dad got sick and didn't make it, I'm so sorry mom I tried to help him, but he didn't want help. They burned us and killed us if we were too weak or tried to escape. I never had anything like this happen in my hole life, I was scared and sad,but I fought through it and tried to make everything better. I wonder where you are and how you have been. The camps are terrible, they burn you and kill, and beat you up. I hoped they didn't do anything like that to you.…
It was just going to be a simple scavenge at an abandoned military base. It seemed safe enough. There was a pack of old bandages in one of the crates, however, most of them were already rotten. Heading towards the 5-ton, the gorgeous M939 U.S. Army truck, he rummaged under the hood for a good battery back in its day it was probably used to carry personnel and supplies to destinations all across this land. Now it lies rusting, quietly whispering war stories in its carcass, waiting for someone to listen.…
Today I received a letter from Emaline. I thought she would never write back, it's been two weeks or so. Now it seems that I have not written in awhile, my apologies. In her letter she gave the best of wishes to Sarah and my family. She talked about what's going on in her life.…
I just want to start out by telling you how much I have missed having you in my life. I have found it very difficult to come and talk to you in person, so I wrote this letter in response to yours. As I first read your letter I was both shocked and saddened by your words saying that everything was over between us. But then I realized that you wouldnt risk telling the truth in a letter as it could end up in the wrong hands. I believe that your letter was just a message that you finally wanted to meet up again, but I'm sorry that I couldn't have built up the courage to speak. Although you have married Elizabeth, I know that I am the woman that you love. I know that Elizabeth walked in upon us kissing, but it is better that she knows…
Today I was walking around during camp because I was bored but then realised I should tell a story because that was what I was good at. No one wanted to listen to my story so I decided to write to you. I wanted you to check up on my wife and see if she is doing alright and also try to check up on my mom and dad. I remember when you told me I should join the armed forces because it brought great honor to me and my family so I enlisted and trust me being here really is not that much of an honor. We are currently located at Northern French and are digging trenches so we could have somewhat of an advantage but really is not going that well. Time here passes by so slow it seems like the 8 months,19 day,4 hours, and 29 seconds have been centuries because there basically is nothing to do here.…
Sydney D'Alba D' La Torre wanted to know if we can help her groups in their rescue efforts in Mexico. I sent her a canned international response that I wrote some time ago and personalized it a bit to fit the situation.…
I have missed you all so much. It has been sometime since I have been able to write to you. I am safe and everything is well. Josh and I have settled in a cottage at the top of one of the many hills in Boston with our two kids, Noah and Paige.…
Are men and women today more liberated then they were a century ago? While reading a critical essay about women authors and in particularly the author of “The Story of an Hour”, Kate Chopin, it described the struggles Chopin faced getting people to read her feminist stories “Chopin seems less atypical in her censure of scribbling women” (Thomas) thus concluding that women were less liberated back then than they are currently. My group and I unanimously believe that yes, men and women are much more liberated than they were a century ago. This is true because men and women have more opportunities. Men and women can also fill non-traditional roles. Women can now have jobs instead of being the typical housewife. Also, men are now not required to work, and can be the spouse that stays at home. Most of the boundaries that were in place a century ago no longer apply to either gender. Some examples from “The Story of an Hour” that support the idea that men and women are currently more liberated is when Louis Mallardwas yelled “Free! Body and soul free!” This statement by Louis shows two things. The first one is that when she was married she felt trapped and controlled by her husband. The second one is now that her husband is dead, she realizes how confined she was, and now she feels completely liberated. “Few other stories say so much in so few words” (Berkove). Another example of this from “The Story of an Hour” is when Louis Mallardwas said “No; She was drinking in a very elixir of life through that open window.” Again, this quote shows that Louis’s husband’s death has released her, and this window is used to symbolize that. Often in literature when a person is looking through a closed window it typically means that the person is, or feels like a spectator to the real world. Oppositely, when Louis is looking through an open window, it shows that she is no longer an observer of the real world, and is now a part of it. In the…
I've misses you more than a dry season misses rain. Without you in my life for the pasted years, I have been deeply depressed. You may not know it yet, but I have moved into enormous house right across the bay. From my backyard, I can see a green light on the end of your dock at night time. At night before I go to bed, I go out back and stared at the light dreaming of a wonderful day when we'll reunite. The light is the only closeness I feel to you.…
I miss you very much. I have been away for 15 years now, but something always gets in my way. Usually it’s Poseidon, but not even a god can keep us apart! Don’t worry, I will come home soon for you and Telemachus. Continue to be strong and fight off the suitors who want to take our kingdom! I am alive and healthy, so I will take it back once I return to Ithica. I hope all is well with you and our son. I will tell you more of my adventure when I see you in person next. I hope you have a great Valentine’s Day even though we can’t spend it together. I love you Penelope!…
I feel that although these attempts at reaching out to you have been futile, I want you to know how I feel without any expectation that you respond.…
My dearest wife Tell me how are you doing? There are no words to describe how I'm missing you and the kids. Is (ill son name) doing alright, is he better than before? I know it has been hard but I know you will take care of them, now that I'm not there to help you, but when I get my first pay I will quickly send it to you so you can spend it on medicine and stuff you need.…
I've missed you more than a dry season misses rain. Without you in my life for the past years, I have been deeply depressed. You may not know it yet, but I have moved into an enormous house right across the bay. From my back yard, I can see a green light on the end of your dock at nighttime. At night before I go to bed, I go out back and stare at the light dreaming of a wonderful day when we reunite. The light is the only closeness I feel to you. I hear you have a husband now. That means nothing to me. I will have nothing else but you in my arms. I hope you share my feelings and will accept my request to elope. We can get away from here! I have tons of money so there's no need to worry. I know you love me too. I already have another house awaiting our arrival. It's set up with beautiful scenery of the big city. You have never seen New York like you can with me. I can give you my love along with any of your wildest desires. You want to travel? I'll take you there. You want to buy a country? There's no country too expensive for the value of your heart. Please accept my proposal! My life with all this money is nothing without you to share it with. If you do accept, meet me at Nick's house on Sunday at 1:30 p.m. and we can have lunch together. I hope to see your sparkling eyes soon.…
We all think and had thought that over the years killing has always been the solution to our fear of the unknown, according to the author of Ambush he said “I did not hate the young man; I did not see him as the enemy” he didn’t see the young man who was coming out of the fog as an enemy and did not hate him but went ahead to kill him with a grenade. If somebody is not an enemy then he should be a friend, if it was not a matter of life and death why kill him? We are forced by the laws we obey to disobey our own will.…
Sorry that I could not write you earlier. The fact is that I had been on a visit to Karachi, Pakistan and saw your letter only this morning. I had never been to far off place. I had heard so much of Pakistan before. Now I have satisfied my long cherished desire of seeing this beautiful city.…
