letter to david from romak

i knew this day would come and asked a dear friend of mine to hand you this letter. just know that i am sorry you had to see what they did to me. i didn't tell you what they were talking about for a reason. if you knew, they would torcher you just to find out about the plans. although i am in fact dead now, i still care deeply about you. take good care of mama and the girls. father and i are now gone and i will watch over you as your are the man in the family. you are stronger and more intelligent than you think you are. promise me that you will do your best to survive. remember, look at the soldiers straight in the eyes and speak clearly as well as loudly. show that you can work and you will do great. i miss you more than you can imagine my baby brother. you will stay in my heart forever. it killed me to write this letter when i was still alive. i have hid some jewelry that you could trade in for food. if you go into the my room, underneath some boards, there will be a bag. the board will be hard to get off because i knew Germans will search our house for anything valuable.

a letter home

Dear romak,
Please let mother know that I am well and alive. I have been sent to a concentration camp and I will find a way to get back to you. It has been hard at the concentration camps and we have very little to eat. I promise you I will survive and come back home. I wish not to worry mother and hope she is doing well. I miss you all terribly and I am sorry this had to happen. I promise you to stay healthy and strong. I will do the work as best as I can in hopes of not getting killed. Please tell mother not to worry and that I will come back. I have made a friend and his name is Aaron. He has talked about escaping and has promised to take me with him. Take excellent care of mother and the girls. I hope to see you soon.

the sounds of heavy foot steps echos in the empty hallways as the cool crisp wind blows around the Mint High School football field. Maddie shivered, pulling her jacket closer to her petite body. it was now 10:30 and the game ended at 7:00. her mother was now 3:30 min. late and it was getting chilly out in the winter night. Maddie looked at her watch for the 15Th time that night. she would have called her mom but her phone had died and did not have a charger with her. she could not believe that she was the last one at school and wished she could just go home and snuggle in her big fluffy bed with her Pomeranian puppy. which she got a month ago. hot chocolate, a warm bed, a fire place... Maddie found her self dozing off.the next thing she knew, her mom was gently shaking her shoulder saying, "Maddie, honey, its time to go home."

20 years from now : laurie sanders:

20 years ago, i was part of a group called the wave. we did many things, but it did not work out. i always knew it wouldn't but no one would listen. it was as if they were brainwashed. although it started and ended many years ago, it feels like it was just yesterday. i keep telling myself, it did not change any one's future but i keep wondering what happened to everyone after we graduated. i know i started a terrific life teaching, but what about Amy or David. or even Robert. i wonder what he's been doing lately. he changed so much after the wave and during. i don't think the wave did so much that changed us positively but Robert did change a lot. he got a lot more confidence. i never thought that something like the wave could change a single person. well my students are in from their break so maybe next time i will tell you more.

20 years from now : by ellie:

20 years ago, i was in 7th grade at high tech middle. i was naive in some ways but was mostly smart. now I am a Harvard law graduate and is a lawyer in LA. I have a great house and a loving family living in it. I have 2 children of my own and have adopted another from Tokyo, japan where my my mom's family is living. My husband is a great man to our society. He is a fire fighter. He has helped so many people and saved life's of many many people. People are so grateful for him and his ability to help someone in need. He has gone great lengths to help the people in our society and his family. For instance, my children were at home with a nanny while my husband and I was out. He got paged in the middle of dinner leaving for his job. As I closed the door to the taxi that night, I noticed my house surrounded by fire trucks. “what's going on?!” I cried pushing my way to the front of the crowd that had been created. There were flames flying around as the fire men frantically tried to put it out. Suddenly my husband and another fire man appeared out of the flamed house holding my children and their nanny over their shoulders. With no warning I burst into tears. If something happened to my children, I would never be able to live another day. Lucky they were not severely hurt. It turns out that my children stole some matches from our top cabinet and locked themselves in the bathroom, lighting candles. Missing, mike, my youngest, lite our toilet cover. i am so happy they are safe and is making sure nothing like this happens again.
