Farming Of Bones Letter

Decent Essays
Hello Mrs., Danticat, I am writing you this letter to tell you how much I loved and learned from your book “Farming of Bones”, and how it tough me something important that I did not know or read about anytime during my life.

Your book is very special because you wrote it for a reason; your book showed the world the truth about what really happened, the suffering, the massacre, the unfairness of the world, and most importantly the truth. I think that your book delivered an indirect message, I felt that when I was reading it, and these messages kept coming to me; Why is this happening to us, what did we do to deserve it,

The first way these books are similar is that they all have to do with “survival”.…
