ReplyDeleteDear,Marisol we are leaving because we have problems here so we have to leave I will be sad and I will miss you farewell. your friend Esperanza.
ReplyDeleteDear Marisol Rodriguez,
ReplyDeleteIt is with sadness that I am leaving to go to the United States. My house was burnt down by my uncle and we are left with no home. This is why I am leaving. I am also scared that my uncle will marry my mother. I think it is for the best for my family to go away from my uncle.
I will miss you.

DeleteDear, Marisol
ReplyDeleteMe and my family are moving to the country called the United States.Our house has been burned down and mama and I have to go quickly before my horrible uncle Tio,Luis catches us.We have made a secret plan on how we will escape. We will have to lay flat in a truck full of fruits and will catch a train at a station.Mama has found a work place were they have cabins for the workers to sleep. It will be different than living in a mansion.I wish I didn't have to leave my good home.Tell my other friends i said goodbye.I will miss you all and I wih you all good luck and wishes
Your friend , Esperanza
Dear Marsiol,
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry, but I'm heading off to California so me and Mama can have a better life and work for money.I'm writing this letter to say good-bye.Maybe someday we can come back to Mexico.

ReplyDeleteDear Marisol Rodriguez,
ReplyDeleteI left Mexico because my uncle burned down my house, and I didn't have anywhere to stay. My uncle is a real bad man because if we stayed my mom had to marry Tio Luis .That's why I left Mexico ,Marisol.

Dear Marisol Rodriguez,
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry that I left Mexico but, my uncle burned my house to ashes because mt mom refused to marry him. I know you miss me. I miss you to but, I didn't want to live,in America. I have to bath myself and since Isabel is going to school I have to watch two babies. I used to be living in a mansion like house with a huge bedroom but, now I have a bedroom that is as small as a plum.
Your Friend,
Esperanza
Dear Marisol, We are leaving Mexico to go to the United States of America. If you didn't know already Papa has died. Tio Luis was trying to marry my mother and now I know that he burned down our house. So we are going to the United States with Miguel, Alfonso, and Hortensia. Love,Esperanza
ReplyDeleteDear Marisol,
ReplyDeleteI'm writing this letter to say farewell.I hate to leave but I have no choice if my family and I don't leave my mother will be forced to marry Tio Luis and he will send me away.I'll miss you.
Your Friend,
Esperanza
Dear Marisol Rodriguez,
ReplyDeleteI know you may be feeling terribly sad,so am I. I have to go leave to live in America because my step uncle Tio Luis burned our house down to dust.We also left because my mama refused to marry Tio Luis because she knew he was a very bad man.So we left to America because we needed a place to live and needed money. I know you miss me very much but know our friendship will never end.
from,
Esperanza
Dear Marisol, Mama and I are leaving Mexico and moving to another country called The United States, because we are trying to escape from my uncle's,Tio Luis and Tio Marco who burned our house.Now we have no home that is why we're moving to the United States to find a job. I am writing this letter for you because I am saying goodbye.Maybe one day mama and I could go back to Mexico. your best friend, Esperanza.
ReplyDeleteDear Marisol,
ReplyDeleteWe are soon moving to the United States because of a really bad man.Marisol we will live with very nice people in the U.S.A. My mother will find a good job.
Sincerely,
your friend
Esperanza
Dear Marisol,
ReplyDeleteI wish I could stay but we had left to Mexico, to live in America.The reason we left was because My Tio Luis had set OUR house on fire.If we stayed in mexico mama would have married Tio Luis,and I know that will never happen.Well I hope we could see each other again.
YOUR best friend,
Esperanza
Dear Marisol,
ReplyDeleteMy family and I are leaving Mexico to go to the United States of America. The reason we are leaving is because our house was set on fire by Tio Luis, and if we stayed ,mama would have to marry Tio Luis and he would send me to boarding school.Another reason is that,if you didn't know papa has died over night. It is hard but i'm hanging on and its not that bad down here I hope you get this soon.
sincerely your friend Esperanza
