Suppose your mother asks you to write a letter describing a setting that was important to you when you were young. Write a parag
raph of that letter. Include in your response the time, place, and social/historical context of the setting you select. In addition, explain why this setting was so important to you.
Dear Mom, I have missed getting to see you. Since it is summer, I was reminded of all the wonderful times spent in my childhood yard. I loved sitting in the grass with watermelon juice streaming down my face. Those were truly the days. I remember blowing bubbles when I was seven and chasing butterflies in our little half-acre slice of Texas. This place was so important to me, because it taught me to enjoy the simple pleasure of life, and enjoy the gifts of nature. I have thought about our old house many times, and I am so thankful for my wonderful childhood I spent there. I love you and thank you so much for all you have done for me, Your Daughter
