Writing extension

1914

Mr. Baumer

Dear Dad,

War has become very difficult for be bear. My best friend Kat has died in combat. I was on my way to take him to the medical station when he died. This was the hardest thing for me to bear yet. I am also sure that mother has passed on by now too. This is also another thing that is difficult for me to bear at this time. I am also worried about you and sister. I do hope the two of you are doing fine.

I am not to sure where the war is going. I believe that we have come to a stop and that we can not win. I am sure you are aware that we are currently recruiting so many young people because we do not have enough people to fight for us. Everyday I see more and more people die.

I really hope that things are going better for you and sister. As soon as I can I will be home to help the two of you out.

With much Love,
Paul



Artist: Sting Song: Ill Be Missing You Album:

Yeah, this right here goes out

to everyone who's lost someone

that they truly loved....

Check it out....


Every breath you take

And every move you make

Every bond you break

Every step you take

I'll be watching you


Every single day

And every word you say

Every game you play

Every night you stay

I'll be watching you


It's kinda hard wit you not around

Know you in Heaven smilin' down

Watching us while we pray for you

Everyday we pray for you

Till the day we meet again

In my heart is where I keep you friend

Memories give me the strength I need to proceed

Strength I need to believe

My thoughts, Big, I just can't define

Wish I could turn back the hands of time

Us and the six shop for new clothes and kicks

You and me takin' flics

Makin' hits, stages they receive you on

Still can't believe you're gone

Give anything to hear half your breath

I know you still livin' your life after death


Every step I take

Every move I make

Every single day

Everytime I pray

I'll be missing you

(I'll be missing you)


Thinking of the day

When you went away

What a life to take

What a bond to break

I'll be missing you


Oh can't you see

You belong to me?

How my poor heart aches

With every step you take.


Somebody tell me why...


One black morning

When this life is over

I know, I'll see your face


Every step I take

Every move I make

Every single day

Everytime I pray

I'll be missing you...


We miss you


The song “I’ll Be Missing You” by Sting reflects Paul’s mood in chapter eleven after his best friend Kat dies. This song is talking about how someone lost a person that was close to them and they are telling them how they will be missing them forever. They are also talking about how it is difficult for them to get over the other person being gone.

This piece of art work reflects many things that went on in chapter Ten. The explosion in the background represents the explosion that inevitably killed Kat. The black along the borders represents the soldiers not being able to see into the future, as to were this war is going. The soldier holding on tightly can represent Paul not wanting to give up on Kat while they are on their way to the medical station.
