Dear Citizens of Triston,

As a concerned citizen of Triston and a member of the North Carolina Conservation of Nature Council, I am asking for the community's help with a serious issue. First, I want to congratulate our town's mayor and city council for planning to build a new community theater. However, do they realize that building the theater on Asbury Woodlands will destroy the prime breeding ground for an endangered species?

The Bachman's warbler is a small, green-and-yellow bird about four inches in length. Since 1897, the population of the Bachman's warbler in North Carolina has decreased from more than 500,000 to fewer than 100. The main reason is the destruction of the areas (like Asbury Woodlands) that the bird uses for its natural breeding grounds. Bachman's warblers prefer thickly wooded swamps and wet thickets in full-grown forests. It’s there that they build their nests and feed on insects.

This fact does not mean that we cannot build a community theater. We simply must consider building it in a slightly different location. After all, our community has forever prided itself on caring for our natural surroundings. The city council's honorable concern for the endangered Bachman's warbler would smooth the ruffled feathers of many voters. With the council’s help and the support of our townspeople, future generations will appreciate the beauty of this little bird.

Sincerely,

Redmond Harris

Read the excerpt from "home front diary." jimmy simmons stopped by today to tell me that he had enlisted in the army. he asked me if i would write to him, and i said i would. i told him that i've been writing to my uncle arthur and susan's cousin john for about a year, and as an experienced correspondent i had some advice about all the censorship. "don't write down any information about your location or the number of soldiers in your unit because the censors will cut all of that away," i said. "in my experience, loose lips not only sink ships, they make letters look like snowflake decorations! ” well, he belly laughed over that one. how is the author's perspective different from jimmy's? the author has been to war and she can give jimmy advice. jimmy has become a soldier and does not believe the author’s advice. the author has experience writing to soldiers but jimmy does not. jimmy has more experience at letter writing than the author.
