Assignment for Thursday, September 18th

Hi, my friend:

    Do you remenber me? Yes, I am Caleb Witting. Now, I am twenty-five years old, Ha Ha! Just like you, not a little little boy. You my mother had died when I am a baby, and then, my Papa get a new bride, her name is Sarah. She is became my new mother. Have you visited her? Oh, yes. She is plain and tall. At the first time I saw her, she was wearing a yellow bonnet and carrying a big bag. So I always guess what is in that big bag. Some clohes? Some food? Something from the sea? Sorry, I don't know. And I think she is very friendly and happy, she will be my good new mother, and Papa' s good new bride.

    Sarah changed our new life. before she came to our house, Papa was too busy, my older sister, Anna and I have nothing to do. And after she came, We felt more happiness: she can help Papa to work and play with us. All of us were love her very much. 

   This is all the things I want to say, bye, my friend.

          Your best friend

@ Mark,

I really enjoyed reading your letter. You already have what many writers work for years to get, a voice in writing. That means, in writing,  you sound like the person I know.

I particularly like the way your sense of humor comes through in your writing. Excellent work!  Best, Laraine

@ Cindy,

You wrote a great letter. And again, your vocabulary if very advanced. I was happy to see that you knew the meaning of  the adjective "naive." And you used it correctly with the verb to be, "he was always so naive."

One of my favorite lines is "But when she came I started to feel more happiness...."

Great work from you, but I am not surprised by that. You always do great work.

Best, Laraine
