The Letter

Dear Sister Antigone,

I will start by saying you are a brave soul. The people of the town consider a you hero, much more so than a criminal. They talk of your great feat. However, I don’t think you realize how dangerous going against the king is, you don't realize the ramifications of your actions. I fear that Creon will have your head for this. I just hope you’re prepared, for the worst.
Polyneices would thank you. I laid awake last night wondering how I could go on knowing that my own brother was going to be food for carrion birds. He deserved a proper burial, whether he fought against our country or not, and thanks to you, he got it. I am a coward, a foolish coward. If only I had seen through my selfish ways earlier. Well, know matter what your punishment is, I will under go it with you. Through the good or the bad, the thick or the thin, I will stand at your side. Let us hope for the thick and good, our family ties may help us a great deal. By the end of the week our souls maybe resting with our brother's. May the gods have mercy on you, you did the right thing.

Please Forgive -
Ismene

What are you talking about my letter making yours look like ...? I really liked yours! I also loved the fact that you used the word "ramifications". I should start using that in everyday vocabulary.
