Prompt: Pretend you are the friend of one of the characters. Write him or her a letter.
Dear Bobby Philips,
I was glad to hear your magnificent story in your opinion this was a horrifying experience. Luckily I haven't become invisible, but I have been faced with problems that made me feel empty almost invisible I would say. I did see you walk around lab school a lot before you had the power of invisibility, but I want to offer you an apology Bobby for not noticing or not even saying simply hello. I do remember that we were close friends before high school and we would always help each other with any sort of problem if it was emotional or physical. When you didn't show up to school for approximately three weeks I started to worry, but then I started to think maybe you went on vacation. I stopped worrying, but one day when I was passed the principal's office I noticed that your mom was having a serious discussion with the administration. Then I started to worry a lot because this absence might have to do with your disappearance or possibly a state issue. The pressure of homework, jazz band, and my job kept me off track to find the truth behind your mysterious disappearance. One day after band practice I took the longer way to my house in order to past by your home and possibly stop by a visit. The guilt was growing inside my stomach and the fear overcame me which caused me to leave immediately. Sorry.
I do regret not knocking on your door to offer you an apology. It wasn't just the guilt, but a police car was parked in front of your house which scared me even more. Before, I ran I noticed that there was this lady having a strong argument with Mrs. Philips which led me to believe that you were possibly involved in a tragic accident. I left there running as fast as I could, but something worried happened to me I bumped into a blind girl named Alicia. I offered an apology, but a sense of fear was in her eyes and it seemed like she was in a hurry. When I arrived at my house, the stress/guilt was killing me so I decided to take a nap in that electric blanket you gave me for Christmas a long time ago. The next day my fear was gone so, I decided to attempt to pay you a visit with a heartwarming gift. It was Monday and I went around like 5 o'clock in the afternoon in which all the lights in the living room were on. It led me to think that you had company, especially important company because I saw Dr. Van Dorn the famous scientist of Chicago. I tried calling you, but you never answered which means you're still angry with me.
In school I heard from the nurse that you were on vacation in Florida with your great-aunt Ethel and that might be the reason why you didn't answer the phone. I just want to say you are so lucky, chilling out in the beach, instead of being here in this outrageous cold. The other day I was in the library in the regular place where we meet after jazz band practice. It was obvious that you weren't there, but something caught my eye. I saw an older man which I recognize as Dr. Van Dorn spying on the blind girl I saw the other day. I went over there to have a peek and the weird thing was that she was talking to no one. There was no one sitting in front of her which made me think that she might be going crazy. Well, that was a weird way to end my week, but finally the weekend was starting and I hoped it will last forever. I decided to go to the famous Woodfield Mall, to buy you the new version of the electric blanket from Sears. I decided to go leave it at your house, for when you come back from vacation. I was about to knock on the door when I heard your mom having a strong argument with two officers and the lady called Miss Pagett. The major shock I received was on Monday when you finally came back and believe me I promise that I will try to reestablish our friendship.
Sincerely,
Mark
I learned this quote the other day in history class since we are learning about World War II and President Roosevelt. This quote reminded me of our friendship, since we haven't been talking to each other that much. I started to think that you truly left a footprint in my life, because you are a true friend.
Abdiel,
ReplyDeleteNice blog! I liked the very descriptive letter. I thought you truly were acting like the character because you were being so descriptive. Maybe you really are Mark. Anyway, nice job overall! I really liked how you added the quote at the end. Good job on connecting this will your class.
