letter

You are a soldier at (choose one of the following specific battles): Midway, Normandy, Iwo Jima, Okinawa, Battle of the Bulge.



Write a letter to a friend or family member. Think of what might be in a letter like this: it would be on a specific date & from a specific city. this letter might describe your hopes, feelings, expectations, fears, etc. It might reference current events (or, then-current events), technology, or politicians. It might describe people, places, settings, technology and more. It might include the other person's life, perspective or questions. In fact, the person the letter is written to might be one of the people on that list!

i am choosing to be general George s Patton i am going to write about the fight he lead in the battle of the bulge and how he makes decisions in less then 24 hours and how he he does crazy things. I want to write it as if i haven't made the decision to do something yet but I'm a little nervous because i don't want to lead all my men in to a death trap. and the feelings of being responsible for the troops. i want to talk about the fears i have about making this decision and the good things that might come out of it. i want to write this letter to my brother that i was very close to.
