  5. Dear Marisol Rodriguez,
    It 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.

  9. Dear, Marisol
    Me 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

  11. Dear Marisol,
    I had to live because I would not let my mom get married to the big goat. But,I sill had to live because,I think Tio Luis burned our house down. I also don't want to live because I don't want to leave grandma behind .I think you will understand why I left but, I will sill miss you and all my friends.
    Your friend,
    Esperanza

  12. Dear Marisol,
    I am so sorry I did not have a chance to say goodbye.I have to go because Tio Luis wants to marry my mother.She said no and he threatened us and burnt down our house and grapes.Now we have to move to the U.S. and work for our money.It won't be easy.Did I mention that papa has been killed and I think Tio Luis did it? I am going to miss you so much.You were my closest friend. I hate that we have to leave .

  13. Dear Marisol,
    I'm leaving Mexico for ever. Because my home has been destroyed! I think my tios lit my house on fire! Sorry but, I have to go I promise you that I will write letters to you I still love Papa,but I need to learn to live without him. I feel sad and angry and just a little excited and nervous at the same time. All these feelings make me feel scared. I will miss you so,so,so much tell my other friends,too! I will always remember you!

    Your Best Friend,Esperanza

  19. Dear Marisol Rodriguez,

    I 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.

  20. Dear Marisol Rodriguez,

    I'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

  23. Dear Marisol Rodriguez,
    I 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

  26. Dear Marisol,
    I 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

  27. Dear Marisol,
    My 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
