1. Imagine that you are a soldier during World War I living in the trenches. Write a letter home to your parents telling about the conditions, how you feel, and how
the people around you feel. Make sure you show me that you understand the
trenches? (16points)

Example:

Dear Parents,

The war is at a stalemate, we endlessly get bombarded with artillery, and troops from the other side send waves of men to attack our trenches. My friend is incapable of moving anymore he is in a state of shock and lays on the floor as fat rats run around feeding off from the dead bodies. I hardly get any sleep but when I do there are small bench-like areas in the trench. All we see in front of us is No Man's Land where there's nothing but death all around. One of the men has Trench Foot as he took off his sock, his skin peeled with it. War is hell, but they said we'd be back by Christmas.

Yours truly, (Insert Name)
