Dear Editor,
I hope you are very well by the grace of god. I took this course in a time of 2 weeks or maybe less. I really appreciate your attention and your good way of trying to help me out in this course. I am so sorry I’ve take more time than you’re supposed to take in the NJVS. I would like to let you know that I really enjoyed taking this course online with you. It was easy for me because I already learned about some of the Module during my school year in English 3.
Three topics I enjoyed during the course were about learning “The house on mango Street”. Another one was “Module 1 William Bradford” & last but not least is “Sylvia Path”. I have a connection in these three different assignments. I enjoyed Mango Street because this is a story of a Spanish family. The main character is a Spanish girl named Esperanza. Her parents always talked about their dream house. When her family moved to a new house the first they have ever owned, on Mango Street in the Latino section of Chicago. Esperanza is disappointed by the red, ramshackle house. It is not at all the dream-house her parents had always talked about, nor is it the house high on a hill that Esperanza vows to one day own her own. I have a connection because I remember when I first came to the United States, my mom always talked about how I was going to have my own room and when I came I didn’t have it at all, I had to sleep with my two brothers. But thank god we are in a better place now. In the Biography of William Bradford I learned how he lost most of his family, his father, his mother and became an orphan then he moved with his uncles and realized he was sick and couldn’t work. So therefor he started reading and became familiar with the writing and reading. I really enjoyed reading about William Bradford because I learned there’s no impossible thing in life. Even though his parents died and he wasn’t capable to

    Your article pertaining to the crimes against the older population was thorough and well delivered. The elderly population is indeed becoming victimized on a larger scale than has been seen in the past. This increase is a result of the growing number of seniors living in society with little protection. Perhaps the most compelling part of your article was that of your question “Who is responsible for protecting these individuals?” You pose quite a thought and emotion invoking question and one which I could not help but share my thoughts on.…

    Throughout reading articles published in your newspaper in the past few years and also in the broader media in Australia, I have become quite irritated that Australian Indigenous communities are still being treated with disrespect and wrongness by our government. All human beings should be treated as equals and have equal rights to the basic necessities such as quality health care. However we still fail to give our Indigenous communities the respect that they deserve, after all the heart ache we the non-indigenous Australians have caused them in the past it is only fair that we treat them with the utmost respect.…

    We are writing to you to advocate for the continuance of Miss. Degenhardt’s (Profe) teaching career at Darien High School. We write with the purpose to make you aware of Profe’s profound impact on the community and the growth of her students both in the context of academics and ethics; her notable qualities and dedication to her profession are of a role model. While Profe’s style of teaching is unorthodox at some points, this unorthodoxy provides students with a diverse and meaningful education in an otherwise, orthodox day. A quality that is central to Profe’s teaching and persona is her receptiveness to student opinion, which in our opinion should be a constant in all student-teacher relationships. For example, if a student feels that a decision in terms of either a grade or punishment she made was unjust, Profe is fully open to a one-on-one discussion, either during a mutual free or before or after school. Profe’s actions reject the notion of “my way or the highway” and epitomize the characteristic of open-mindedness: a quality that is crucial in our increasingly globally connected society. For a personal anecdote, during a student’s sophomore year he felt that he did not deserve grade X; therefore, he approached Profe and asked to meet with her before school. The student and Profe discussed the grade and while the grade remained unchanged, he had a better understanding as to why he received grade X and how he can avoid receiving grade X in the future. In another, unrelated circumstance, Profe organizes an annual in-class food drive to afford families in the Bronx a decent Thanksgiving meal, which reveals her altruism and devotion to paying it forward. Moments such as these are what define Profe’s impact and overall career to DHS and academia. As a community, we are here to support a teacher who has supported us. Thank you in advance for your time.…

    In 1888 Charles F. Richardson referred to Bradford as a "forerunner of literature" and "a story-teller of considerable power;" Moses Coit Tyler called him "the father of American history."[48] Many American authors have cited the manuscript in their works; for example, Cotton Mather referenced it in Magnalia Christi Americana and Thomas Prince referred to it in A Chronological History of New-England in the Form of Annals. Even today it is considered a valuable piece of American literature, included in anthologies and studied in literature and history classes. It has been called "'an…
