Dear Mayor Levine,
We send our children to school so that they can learn the
skills that they need to prepare them for the challenges of life. In order to make this possible, we want them
to learn in an environment that is safe and secure. We truly believe that this
encourages them to learn and take part in school activities.
Lately, however, we are now troubled by reports that there
many unruly students who cause trouble for the school and other students as
well. What is more alarming is that many
of them are carrying concealed weapons and we are afraid that our children’s
lives will be at risk.
We urgently request
that your office to do something about this problem. We are worried about the
safety and welfare of our children is now at risk because of these recent
developments. We will be happy to work
with you in creating a safe in environment for our children to learn in school.
Thank you and God Bless!
Very Truly Yours,
John Doe
The literary device would be personification. This is because personification is when an author gives inanimate objects human qualities or actions.
Example:
The blades of grass danced through the meadow to the wind's hypnotizing beat.
In this sentence, the blades of grass dancing illustrate how grass sways when disturbed by wind. Because grass cannot dance this is a personification.
Someone said to write a paragraph using exactly these words so that’s what I’m doing rn. Ahhahaha

The 12th day is the day after Christmas. It is the day the magi bestowed their gifts upon Jesus. It marks the end of the Christmas holiday celebrations. This time is one of partying and silliness. The play mirrors this with the tricks the characters play on each other, Sir Toby Belch, Sir Andrew Aguecheek, and Feste. </span>
