Letter to my children
Dear children, To start off, I just wanted you to know that I love you so much and neither you nor your brother should forget that. Even though I am not physically there to take care of y’all, just know that I am still your mother, and you’re still my little babies. I am writing this letter to announce the real reason why I am not there to be with you. This was the hardest decision to make, so I thought it over very wisely. I have been in hiding from Dr.Flint for seven years. He was my master that always tried to force me to surrender mentally and emotionally to his domination, but as intelligent as I am, I would tweak my ways around it. I am not to be seen by anyone or the lives of our family would be in great danger. If anyone finds out I am hiding from him, he would put all of us in jail for who knows how long.

Promise me a few things please child. First listen to your great-grandmother and do whatever she says; this will help all of us very much. Second, don’t ever let someone try to control your life in the near future; I know my babies are stronger than they think. Third, when/if you become free, move away as far as

her cannot watch her get hurt when she refuses to do anything about it. This assignment required that I write two letters. The first letter is written from me to the other person (in this case by friend). It should be a letter about me expressing how I feel about the conflict. The second letter is written by me, but from the perspective of the other person. After writing the letters, I showed the second one to my friend.

the first place, Hester Prynne conveys that all humans are innately good by making the letter that stands for something sinful good and beautiful. “…that SCARLET LETTER, so fantastically embroidered and illuminated upon her bosom.

Also, Sojourner Truth’s Ain’t…
Belonging is a faceted construct which subsumes and paradoxically restricts one’s internal perceptions of belonging and self. It is this sense of identity which is intrinsically defined via an interaction with the world, and thus manifests as a potentially enriching and limiting experience. This notion is explored in Emily Dickinson’s poetry: “This is my letter”, “I had been hungry”, and “ which simultaneously explore humanity’s desire for acceptance and the ability to be enriched by their surroundings…
