Mandras Last Letter
Mandras, my beloved betrothed,
We have found ourselves in a predicament, and this is why this will be the last letter you will EVER receive from me. We were once lovers entangled in each other's love, but now we have grown to hate each other, me hating you more than ever. You tried to take my virginity without my consent, a very unspeakable and horrendous act to perform on your ex-fiancée who had loved you to the best of her abilities. You don't deserve this last letter, but my guilty feelings refuse to pass unless I get these words out from my brain and onto this cold paper. You will see the other side of me, every Greek woman seems to have, as the last memory you will ever have of me.
When you read these pages I hope that you are not around anyone because I intend that these words on this cold
…show more content…
As a good person respectable woman, I am, I would say 'I hope you move on, forget about me, and live your life fighting to end the war and you go home to someone who truly loves you Mandras.' But as the Greek woman I am, I shall leave you remembering the other side of me. I hope you rot on earth and in hell. I hope you never find another woman to love you because no woman deserves to share a life with you repulsive self. You look like a toad, but unlike your mother, you have no soul. You are selfish and deserve every bad thing life throws at you. Every day I wake up I will curse your name out loud Mandras and I hope you die a slow and meaningless death. As for I, a new man came into my life and we plan on getting married. He is the perfect man for me, the man of my dreams actually. Without this pain you have inflicted on me, I would never know true love, but don't take this as an invite to come back into my life. You are not welcomed to ruin my marriage with Antonio Corelli, my Italian lover. I plan to forget your existence, therefore, this will be the last you will hear of me. Goodbye,

The book Farewell to Manzanar by Jeanne Wakatsuki Houston and James D. Houston depicts the reactions of the government and the American public toward Japanese Americans after the attack on Pearl Harbor. So why were they the ones punished for it? We still see examples of inaccurate assumptions, hypocrisy, and discrimination during this time in our nation’s history that can be related to our own community since we continue to categorize, generalize and overreact.…

One minority group that was targeted was people with Japanese ancestry. America was at war with Japan. The American people as a whole feared that Japanese Americans would become spies for Imperial Japan, so they ripped them from their homes and their lives, imprisoning them in internment camps across the United States without a trial for crimes they feared they might commit.…

    In the dialogue Crito, Crito is making the argument to Socrate that he needs to escape jail, because he is an innocent man, that he doesn’t deserve to die, and that he needs to leave before he loses his life. While, Socrate counter argues that he must stay in jail and reserve the punishment that they voted for him, because for him to ran and escape jail that in itself is injustice even if he is in fact an innocent man. In Socrate’s counter argument he proclaims that if he and Crito came up with a plan to help him escape they would have to come up with unjust solutions to get him out, and those solutions would involve actually corrupting more innocent men, and if caught they would also be prosecuted, and this would be enforcing the accusations…

    Have you ever suffered? Did you get better or never quite recover? Did you find your lover laying with another? I did. No one tells you how cruel the world can be, or how to cope with tragedy and pain. I had been out of town for months away in the Army, and had come back to no warm welcome. My life, my love, my fiancée was with another. I had always held on deeply to her whispering seductively in my ear “always”, but always is valueless and I wish I never heard her speak a word. Loves funny, the way one day it’s there and the next it’s not. It doesn’t ask to be excused and once it’s gone, it’s gone for good. Looking back on when we were together, before this monster came in to wreak his havoc, maybe I never tried hard enough and it’s my fault.…

We could leave; go to a place where we will be satisfied for the rest of our lives. But you broke my heart. I tried to couple with you. I still remember my accelerated heartbeat when our bodies came closer; you should have kissed me. But you did not. Instead, you do not want to know anything about me. I truly thought that you would fall in my arms. And I did not feel guilty about our forbidden love for one breath of my life. I would do it again, just for you John, for our love.
