Even though it is free to send an email, you still need access to internet and a computer, both in which cost hundreds of dollars, opposed to a letter where you can have everything you need to send a letter under a dollar. A letter is also hard evidence, it’s harder to forge than an email, since handwriting is unique, and typing is not. Computers can have many internal errors; the computer can crash, information can be lost or leaked to someone.

In the study of English literature, “The Sullivan Ballou Letter” by Sullivan Ballou and “To Lucasta, Going To The Wars” by Richard Lovelace are very similar and different in many various forms of ways. These works of literature can be categorized as goodbye letters from two men who sent them to their wives to show their love, before they leave for different wars. “The Sullivan Ballou Letter” is written in American literature and “To Lucasta, Going To The Wars” is written in British Renaissance literature.

and now we see it in something like the Ferguson shooting. Yet what about the ones who are supposed to protect the law, it seems they alway either get away with no penalty or have a very light sentence. The justice system seems that it has been tested on many occasions and still is broken until something can be done to it. The justice system might be fixed in the future in which all people will finally be treated equally by the law despite their

Without our participation in politics we would be letting people, that we don't know or people that don't know about us or what we need, decide about what is “best” for our country. And I can assure you, I am not the only who
