The Last Letter Home

The image of the American family has changed within the last seventy years. It has gotten smaller. With the size of the family roles have also changed for members of a family. Communication is also slightly different. Even though these changes have occurred family values are still upheld. The American family since 1945 has similarities and differences in it. The American Family and Family Economics states it was once believed that “men were expected to finish school, go to work, and get a job…

work only ten hours. She also says that girls who wish to attend lectures can go before it starts. 2) Anne Maria promotes America to her relatives in Germany through her letters that she sent them. She claims how good it is and how makes more income than in her home country. She doesn't regret leaving her old job and as the letter is going on the…

year of 2012, my brother was no longer at home with his family, but he spent months at camp where he was trained for the army. He felt very fortunate that many people were sending him letters and other goods while he was away. That is not the case for everyone though because many deployed soldiers do not get the support that they deserve while they are away. How would you feel if you had to spend months or even years over sea and you hardly got any letters or care packages sent to you? In the…

I’ve read the letter hundreds of times, and scanned meticulously through each photo. Searching to see what went wrong. Everything about the envelope is ordinary; except nothing about the circumstance is. Written to Children’s hospital, and the return address a place that I once called home. There is a smudged ink stamp across the front “Ministry of Children and Family Development” with the date it was received at the front desk. Beneath the crinkled page are thirty-two photos, the letter has…

Last year was a tough year, I was the new kid and I had a huge decision to make about my future and my education. I had been given a great opportunity and I was not sure if I was going to take it. If I took the opportunity my life would be changed forever. My mind was having a war against friends or future and at the end I knew I made the correct decision. Here is the story! Last year I was new, the smart kid that nobody knew. I always knew I was somewhat smart and I had a chance of…

By listening and acting so, the results may have been different. Many of Caesars most trusted circle plead with him not to go to the Senate on the Ides of March, while Kofi Annan (Secretary-General of the United Nations) had in his possession a letter that warned of a coming genocide, but both did not want to hear the truth, each for their own reasons. Omens and nightmares foreshadow the death of Julius Caesar and foretell the chaos to come. Soothsayers warn Caesar not to go to the Senate on…

“The Last Letter” The strategies used by Tomas Young to draw the attention of George W. Bush and Dick Cheney were pathos in connection to sadness, parallelism to grab the reader’s attention, rhetorical questions for the President, and the use of anaphora “I write this letter [...]”. These strategies together were used to show the major issue of the ignored and fallen soldiers of the Iraq War, even after 10 years when Young wrote this letter. The use of pathos is intended to cause a sense of…

Adela Strangeworth is a very interesting person. She is a perfectionist. She is also deceptive and she is a know-it-all. She thinks she knows what is best for everyone. She is very nice is person, but when she gets home and starts writing those letters. She will write and spill all of her petty thoughts about the other citizens’ lives. Destroying any kind of relationships they have with anyone. She thinks she is absolutely perfect and that everyone that lives around her is not. She dresses…

similar to journal entry prompts. What can be found from his writings are different personality traits he possessed. Later in his life, Montfort went on to be an engineer and was actually deployed in World War I. During his time in World War I, he sent letters to his Auntie and kept her up to date on his life. Barret had a very creative imagination and it can be seen in his journal by how he wrote stories that personified different inanimate objects. In, “A Story of A Lead Pencil,” Barret is…

shells of course. That being said there is already around 5 centimetres gathering on the floor, pretty soon even the duckboards will be useless. The men’s spirits have been rather low lately because its been raining for the last 3 days and the latrine overflowed after the last lot stationed here didn’t empty it. Now the whole section stinks. The food however has been better then usual as they managed to stop the rats getting into it, a stark contrast…
