Letter of Confession

I have created this letter to you in necessity for myself. This letter will hopefully bring a close to a chapter of my life that was in immense need of ending. Also, this letter will hopefully allow you to create a more positive view of myself, as I believe you have never seen me in a good light.

This is not a single day when I haven’t thought about you. You are most genuinely kind, intelligent person I’ve ever met. You have always been there for me. You always fill me with happiness. In return, I promise I’ll always be by your side and to support you for the rest of my life. I am very happy to see this friendship grows as we become closer everyday over the last six years. I wanted to tell you sooner, but I am afraid to hurt our friendship in exchange for love – we can do both. I don’t know if you feel the same way I do. That’s okay if you don’t but I showed my courage to tell you I will always love you. Can’t wait to see you soon on Thanksgiving and to tell you all wonderful

To be completely honest, I’m not the best at articulating my reasoning or emotions, but I’ll do my best throughout this letter. So here goes nothing.

Learning plays an essential role in life. We learn something new everyday. In Frank O'Connor's short story "The First Confession", Jackie, the main character, learns a lesson he'll always remember. After Jackie's first confession, he could now be confident that he was not such a sinner, and that Nora, his sister, was wrong. While people focused on Jackie's own wrong doings, they weren't focusing on their own wrong actions. Sometimes people's ignorance can bring them into a whole different reality. Through certain characters and different incidents, O'Connor stresses his theme that people's ignorance can blind them from their own sins.

Throughout The Scarlet Letter, Nathaniel Hawthorne relays the theme of guilt using symbolism that is portrayed in the scarlet letter itself and in the main character’s daughter. The story follows the protagonist, Hester Prynne, who commits adultery with the town minister, Arthur Dimmesdale, producing the child she raises on her own named Pearl. Guilt is a common theme for the duration of the novel which covers all aspects of the shame each character feels. These particular dimensions of shame come specifically from different objects in the novel and what they represent.

How have you been? I hope life is going well. How is mom doing? Are you and her eating and sleeping well? I want to be very honest in this letter. Please do not tell mother what I am about to tell you. I don’t want to worry her. I don’t want to worry you too but you’re stronger than mom. What I am about to tell you please take it into consideration but also don’t worry as much.

I thank you for taking the time to read my letter. I know that you are a busy man, so for you to read my letter means a lot. I do hope to hear back from you. Please feel free to contact me in any way that you

I am writing this letter on behalf of a good friend Greg Gallegos. I met Greg through his son and my close friend Damian Gallegos. Almost immediately after meeting Greg he accepted me as if I was family and I know that almost all of Greg’s friends could agree. I quickly learned that Greg was a family orientated person. He was always involved and very supportive of his children and grandchildren. Greg is also a person I could always rely on. Whether it was picking me up when I was stranded in the middle of the night when my motorcycle broke down, helping me get a job after I returned from basic training or always welcoming and including me in whatever he had going on. I honestly can’t think of a time that he has ever let me down

I didn’t have the opportunity to thank you and tell you what was in my heart when you departed. That is the reason for this letter.

I am writing because I am quite concerned about your progress this week. During our last meeting, you seemed to be disturbed by some reason that you didn't share with me. I respect your privacy, but don't forget that I am here to help you.

I hope this letter finds you well, and that you can read my handwriting! I’m writing this note to you for two reasons that give me so much joy to tell you about.

I wanted to write this letter to have the opportunity to strengthen and develop a relationship with you. I know that

    Life takes unexpected turns for better or for worse, but how one deals with it shows the purest version of them. My grandma worked all the time no matter how she felt, one day she was hospitalized for what appeared to be a stroke but turned out to be brain cancer. No matter what happen she put on a brave face for her seven grandchildren, but it was all a facade. From the start everyone saw that she was able to be brave because she had faith in God, this taught me when something is wrong there is always someone with me despite how lonely I may feel. She was a fighter but sadly passed November 9, 2013 this moment allowed me to reflect on the past realizing things I would never have taken a second look at.

"The happiness of the wicked passes away like a torrent!" This quote from Jean Baptiste Racin summarizes The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne in one sentence. The novel's main focus is on three main characters and how the sins they commit affect their lives in the strict Puritan town of Boston around the year 1642. Hawthorne was very knowledgeable of his Puritan ancestry and shows it by incorporating some important thoughts and traditions into this story about sin and confession. Throughout the novel, the physical, social, mental and emotional changes that result from sin in the lives of the characters are never positive and the outcome of their spiritual
