WW2-- letter home

To my love,
Annie

I am just writing to let you and everybody know that I am find and on my way home. I feel a great relief in saying that. We have had success over here and all is well now. I can’t wait to see everybody that I love especially you. I miss you and the letters just aren’t enough anymore I need to see you. I can’t explain the feeling I have knowing the War is over and we have won and will be coming home soon. It really is a mess over here and sadly we have lost many good men, I feel so bad about it but am glad that it is all over. I still can’t believe that Germany wanted to take over the world. He was causing so much damage to the world. The celebration of when we had won was amazing, the feelings are indescribable. All the bodies of the people that had been killed, and the concentration camps there are no words. I just can’t wait to see you and hold you in my arms once again and try to live a semi normal life once again.

Love always,
John.

My Generation

I was born in generation y but have really lived in generation z. I was only five years old when the new generation began, but both seemed similare. The generation that I have really lived in is all about the internet, and the tv. Other generations like the baby boomers didn't really even have the internet, or a tv. The tv's were just new and they were in black and white. I think that our generation has had it too easy we really don't have to think to hard anymore, which is very different then before. This are really the same with politics. Fasion has really changed over the years. We are always getting better and newer clothes. I always hear older people saying how they don't like their pictures from when they were younger, and we might think the same thing later but right now we think we have the best clothes. I think that our generation is very differnt from the baby boomer, thats where I see most of the difference. We are going to grwo up and have to worry about all the issues like environmental, and childhood obisity, which the other generations don't have to do. We haven't been around to long so it is the effects and actions of the older generations that we have to deal with when we get to the point of having to work. I also thisnk that our generation isn't as smart as the other generations becuase we don't have to think as much, but I do quite enjoy the time that we are growing up in.

My Community

I live in the town of Glencoe. We have about 2400 people who live in this town. We are a rural community, with a lot of farm land. In our community we really only have white people, there are only a couple of people that are a different race. The majority of our population is older people, and there is a good male to female ratio. I think that over the years our community has stayed the same I haven't lived here for my whole life like the majority of our town but I have for long enough to know what it is like. I really like the town of Glencoe, I feel as though to many people are moving away from this town and into the bigger cities. Although the high school doesn't have many unique classes we can take like the bigger schools, we all love it. The fact that they are trying to close Glencoe is because of urbanization. They want us to go to bigger schools, and soon enough there wont be a high school here if they get what they want. I think that this could cause a big problem for the town of Glencoe, once you lose the high school there really wont be much left that is keeping people here. I really like this town and don't want to see that happen, I want to raise my family here when I am older and finished school. Over all I think the rural community is the best and I don't want that to change.
