Dear Gyurka:
You may not remember me and i dont blame you for not doing so, I was a good friend to you, always keeping you sane when we were at the concentration camp, you might not remember due to all the tragedies you lived there you only might wanna forget all those things, although i want to know how have you been, lots of things happened to me after we left Auschwitz, I found my family and friends at our hometown but didnt saw you, I wont ask aything about yours because it might offend you, but what about yourself i've sent this to your old direction so i dont know if you might still living ther if you happen to get this letter please reply.
Rememeber when we were at our first day of the concentration camp thinking that it might be something fun because we would be with our friends and together nothing could have happened... we were wrong though, at least we had both of us to keep us sane through all of that, we lost our closest friends back there but we wont forget them since they gave their life so we could live, Gyurka remember that you're not alone and you will always have someone that cares about you.
Well although I didnt have too much to write about and I really dont want to talk too much about the holocaust ( thats how they call it now), i want to forget everything about it, think that it never happened, the nazis never attackes, that no one died and all the childs that died withouth a reason or purpose, It literally was a nightmare, a hell of a nightmare.
I always heard you talking about your father and how you missed him, Im pretty sure he miss you too and that he cares about you, he might have sent a letter but couldnt reach you, the day que were at the bus when everything started you were happy because you were going to date someone that you wanted to for a long time, im sorry about that things like that might happen in life, but this trip to hell made you a strong person im pretty confident about that so just wait for the correct momment and you might even find someone better for you who loves you back. i want to end this letter here, i still feel like i didnt say everything, most is from the "incident" but I just want to leave that in the past and fade away, hopefuly one day we'll meet again you wont even recognize me but it would be fun if we talked each other and didnt even realize that those were us.
take care.
Your Friend. Alex.
RATIONALE
In this writting assignment i wrote the text type "Letter", I choose this text type because it fits the era, time and place, 2nd world war in the time of the holocaust, and the person who writes it also makes sense. The purpose of this is that someone who lost track of his old firend writes a letter in hope that he might recieve it, if so, he wants to get a reply as soon as possible, the letter is just about friendship, it adds a little content about the book and the historical events that happened, but being realistic nobody really wants to rememeber what happened there.
In the book Fatelessness the author leaves a secret message which meant that books are the history of men, they are the only thing that keeps history from being biased and changed to the comodity of everybody else. And this letter is trying to do the same.
