Subject: As Far As I Can See

Dear Bill and Terry,

Hello my name is Ricky San Bartolome and I am a student at Aragon High School and I am studying about the Vietnam War in my English class. We have talked about plenty of stories in class but know we are doing an assignment on reading war stories and writing to the authors. In your poem As Far as I Can See I understood that it was about the Vietnam memorial, it also to me means that they are passing on to heaven. It got me thinking that a lot of people died in that war. I already new that but a lot of people lost there love ones. I also want to know how do you think of the words that you put in your poems. How do you talk about the war times were you in the war, did u have a family member in the war, or is it just a passion. In the last line of your poem you wrote �People feeling with there fingers now I know I�m not alone�. I really have thought about it and just can�t get what you mean by that. First you start out kind of talking about the wall, then you go on to people going to the sky, then you finish it off as is you are the wall. I get that you�re talking about the wall but I don�t get the moral to it. Thank you for your time I would really appreciate it if you wrote back to me ok thank you.
