Reflection:
This letter was from a girl named Sushi Croptree. She wants her daughter, Hedia back. This letter has a lot of misspellings and it tells you that Sushi didn't get full education. She saw her masters writing and teachers teaching the masters' kids. She heard them but couldn't see them. So she basically wrote what she heard and knows what each letter sounds like.

I like that you made this slave letter authentic... the slave clearly isn't educated, but she knows how to write which is interesting. Perhaps a reflection as to how you decided to choose this slave... how did she learn to write?
Wow Yeojin. I really liked this post. Especially that you made it look like it was from that time period with all the "bad" spelling.
Good Job!
