- Having been a Viet Cong spy, a servant, a black marketer, a teenage single mother, and an expatriate, Le Ly is, above all, a survivor. She does whatever necessary to survive through the war and its atrocities. In this way, she is an embodiment of her country: forced by war into extreme and unusual circumstances, she perseveres in any way she can. The war has left her with a mix of traditions and thoughts; she values her father’s Buddhism, as well as his emphasis on family, but she has left her ancestral home for a better life abroad. On her return to Vietnam, she quenches her homesickness for Vietnamese food but continues to dress in Western style. This combination of East and West in Le Ly is representative of how the war altered many people, displacing their values and changing their perspectives.

- In addition to being representative of the generation affected by the war, Le Ly is also a messenger of peace. Throughout her memoir, Le Ly conveys the most important lessons she has learned from the war: forgiveness is the way to mend the hurt that was inflicted on all sides involved in the war, family is the most important thing in life, and all sides, the Vietnamese and the Western world, need to work together to bring life and hope back into her homeland. She wants these lessons to be a prescriptive to all of those affected by and hurt from the war. Le Ly returns to Vietnam in part to help mend what the war had destroyed in her country and in her family. Her memoirs are an extension of this healing journey, administering peace as an antidote to war and forgiveness as an antidote to hate.

Answer:
Dear { } ,
I am writing this letter to tell you about a surprising situation that happened to me this week. After leaving work, I decided to meet some childhood friends to talk a little. I ended up leaving this meeting very late at night, but I thought this was an advantage for me, since it would be easier to drive on the empty streets. With that thought in mind, I got in the car and started driving to my home.
The street was really empty, when suddenly, a child ran by and was almost hit by my car. At that moment I was extremely scared, but I managed to brake in time, stopping the car within centimeters of the child who was just as scared as I was.
I got out of the car, still shaking, to see if the child was okay, when I saw her mother running towards us. The mother apologized to me for what happened and thanked me for saving the child from danger.
Despite the fright, I was happy that nobody got hurt and after a few minutes, I went on my way home, with a sense of relief.
Sincerely
{ }
Hope this help <3
