Dear Alice,
I am so glad that you decided to go back to Syracuse where you belong. Your poem that you wrote in class is, what I think, exactly what it should have been. You said it perfectly and even though it is hard to say what you said, it's how you feel and I respect that. I don't know if I would necessarily say I would want to kill him just cause of what he did to me, I think he deserves the punishment to live under his sin, whether he knows it or not. If you did kill him, it would do nothing to you but make you regret the decision because I know that being a murderer and a rape victim would put way to much weight on your shoulders. I also respect your teacher for not treating you like she knows you really well and feel bad for what happened to you, instead she listened to your story and helped you express your feelings through that poem. I think you are a great poet and I hope you still are writing poetry.
And, oh my gosh you have found your rapist! I am so glad you had the courage to go back out to where he was and look him in the eye and see who he was and what he looked like! Thanks to your bravery you caught him! I don't know how much trouble he is in or how long he will be in jail for, but I hope it's for life. I hope the trial goes well!

Sincerely,
Ellie
