Response to Häfelin's letter

What language (specific words) did your classmate did you classmate use to appeal the audience? If there is no language appealing the audience, suggest some words.

Christian used many words, such as: special, witnessed, atrocities; using this words the diction of your letter is espectacular. In line 5 you should put "interesting people", instead of interest.

How moving is the letter ? Do you think that your classmate's style is effective?

I think that my partner's style is very effective, because he used words that can catch the reader, in this case me, describing how he feels in the concentration park.

Explain to what extent the letter includes elements of contexts and time.

My friend's letter does includes elements of time and context like where he says in line 1 to 3 that says, "  I am writing to you because I want to tell someone what is happening to me, in special my experience in the concentration camp, and I hope you miss me as much as I do. I have been witnessed of different atrocities during an entire year". In this lines we can appreciate the context of time and place during the world war II, during Holocaust.

Mentally I'm very good, because I know that I'm going to meet you and mom at least one more time, by the other side physically all my body has suffered in a way I can't explain. My arm is very damaged, because every day I have take bags from the concentration camp to a station that is like from our house amd your school, for hours. Also the food is so poor that for me to walk is already tiring. 

Do you remember when we ate the night I lost saw yo? It was a splendid night, all that food, those special moments, those special meals,etc. Do you remember the song's we sang, with all the family? I wish I could do it againg. Do you remember when we read the bible?  I will like to read it againg, better if you haved read them

Finnally, I wish you can respond me this letter, and tell me about everything you are doing, you health, msde new friends? I wish we could meet againg after all this madness from The Holocoust, I know this and the next years are going to be very long, and very hard for us.
