My U.S. History Homework. RAFT Assignment. The Civil War.

This is a RAFT (Role. Audience. Format. Topic.) Assignment that I had to do for U.S. History. My role is during the Civil War, I am a Northerner writing a letter to a friend in the South. Mine is about a young man who's family moved to the North and writes to his love down in the South.


    Dearest Emma, the date is March 30th 1862. I miss seeing your beautiful face. Yesterday I learned that I am to be drafted into the Union Army. Has Alfred been drafted yet?
    Since the war began, how has life back home been? Do Evan and Darren still go to school? How is it that the children entertain themselves? Is your way of getting food and news different from when my family and I lived there?
    I can certainly say heading off to war is a frighting thought. I wonder about things like "What will the conditions of the Union Army be?" and "Why? Why was this war started?" but I know the answer to the last question. The North and South have disagreed about many subjects, mainly about the state of our nation.
I also have wondered if I will be seeing you again while I march through the South. Have any battles happened near your home and scared little Nora?
    Please have hope and pray that I will survive this treacherous war so I may look upon your lovely face once again.
    With all my love,
      William Beacher.

Dianna Moor and the sacrad tree.. Chapter 1 part 2

After I walked away from Proffessor Michal and the tree, I came across my best friend Jennifer Maxwell. "Hey Jen," "Hi Dianna." Jen is tall and tan with dark brown hair that is always strait no matter what she dose. I on the other hand had short light brown hair with natral  high lights that never is strait. It always is curly and tangled. I am avrage size for any 14 year-old gir, and I have pale skin. Nothing close to my friend at all."So what are you doing up so early Dianna," she quesitoned me. "I just woke up early, what about you," I said quetioning her. "Same here," she laughed. "Yeah, well what are you doing now," I asked? "Just walking aroud, you want to join?" "Sure, have you been by Proffessor Michal," I asked? "No, were is he," she quesitoned me with exictment. "By the tree, I just passed by there a little while ago, do you want to go back." She blushed and nodded. "Okay maybe he'll still be there" "Okay," she said. I knew she really liked him, I mean who wouldn't. He is the youngest proffesor at Oblivion Acadamy. He has jet black hair and icy blue eyes, he is really tall and he came from the United States. Thats all we know about Proffesor Michal. We turned around and headed toward the tree.

Dianna Moor and the sacrad tree..... Chapter 1 part 1

It was still early morning in London when I awoke. I looked out of the window of my domitrory and saw Professor Michal, my favorite professor, was out side watering the sacrad tree. The tree was so beautiful in the morning light and everyone on campus would be asleep still so I thought now would be a good time to take my morning jog. My rout always passes the tree so I decided to say hello to Professor Michal. "Good morning Professor Michal," I said while I aproched him. " Good morning to you too Dianna, your up early this morning," "Yea well I just woke up and thought now would be the best time to take a walk," "Well, that is just fine but be warned, I have a strang feeling that something is going to happen today," "Okay professor, I'll be careful," I replyed as I walked away smiling to myself, Professor Michal is always like this.
Sorry it was so short I havent come up with anything from there but I'll post more latter!
