Stay Smart Adam!

Author's Notes: This essay is about April Morning and how the cause and effects, effects the story during the climax.

Dear Adam,

I am reading your story in Social Studies and I am so intrigued that you would risk your life to fight against the British. I do not know if I have that much courage to fight like you do. I could not leave my family, friends or home to fight for my country. My name is Madison Giordano and I you should think more about your decision on going into the war.

You are ever so brave for entering the war. Going to war is defiantly the most important part in your story! Your story has changed my life; I think it is so cool that you could have that much courage to fight for your city and country being a teenager. If my older brother went into the war I would be devastated. My brother is a role model, a mentor, and a best friend to me. I don’t know what I would do if anything happened to him. You remind me a lot of my brother; you are brave and will do anything for your family. You are so courageous. I just want you to be careful during the war!

Even though you are brave for going into war you need to think before you make the final decision to go into war. I understand that you want to go to war. I understand that it would look good for Ruth and it would be fun, but you need to think about what is right for your family! You Ma needs you at home, to take care of your little brother when she isn't home. What if something happened to your dad or you? You need to stand up to be the head of the household. Your family needs you at home. I don't think you should go to war with your father. It is more dangerous than it is smart! As I said your family needs you more now than ever, with your dad going to war. Your mom needs you to watch over Levi and Granny if she has to do anything outside of home. Please do what is right and do not go into war.

As I conclude I think you should think before you act. I want you to be very careful in making choices. I do not want anything to happen to you, don't go into the war! If you end up not taking my advice, I wish that you watch your every move and look after your dad! Don't let your dad out of your sight. My name is Madison Giordano and I want you to make the choice that you think is right. Please don’t go into the war. All I ask is for you to think about all of your decisions.

Stay smart,

Madison Giordano
