Letter to Tom
Dear Tom,
I here your havin trouble with that gal
Becky Thatcher. That day you kissed her was good and all but I here you
made the stupidest move by tellin her about your other girl friend. You
did well on your approach and all but never do that again unless you really
do want to make a girl like her mad again. I also hear that you witnessed
a major body snatchen while there was a murder-taking place at the same
time. The superstition is that it will kill you dead in your tracks and
make you rot if you ever tell about something Potter never did.. Those
are some really serious problems so how about I get you the advice you
really need and probably want.
Here’s some good advice for use in the
future. About Becky, you should at least try to calm her down for a couple
of minutes and try to explain to her what you really meant. But still never
do that again ok. If you can get her for a couple of minutes I am pretty
sure you may still be able to get her back. One more thing about this situation,
do NOT try to show off. Now, about the murder. My advice is to face facts
and go against the superstition for once and see if it’s a fake or if it’s
true so you could be helping one person while still helping the rest of
the town. From my opinion I would never mind superstitions
again. They’re either going to get you into trouble or give you nightmares
or something of that sort. I say you start off by telling your aunt and
giving evidence to show that Potter is innocent. Then keep on telling more
and more people to convince that Potter is really innocent and didn’t murder
no one. The good side of this advice is you’d be doing everyone a favor
and then they might tend to like you more than hate like everyone does
to Huck because he trespasses and disrupts other people’s property and
privacy.
I’d say my advice is good because I seen
things like this happen before and it tends to get pretty bad. Over the
years I’ve learned by watching, listening, and reading about other people’s
life and situation. Some examples are: talk
shows, radio shows, T
V shows, and even books.
Well I think all that humbo jumbo superstition stuff is just plain balony.
Who would believe that if you said a spell or something that your warts
would go away. By watching older girls and boys it’s pretty darn obvious
what to do and what not to do when talking. They also have these soap channels
that are really dumb and have no point to them. Sometimes things are so
ridiculous that it’s not even funny. My parents also taught me crew ship
manners when I was 6 years old. That taught me how to treat other people.
I could understand that back then people had very very open minds on magic
and superstitions. It’s been crazy how many weird superstitions people
have come up with. Some spells cure warts and
some are supposed to give you clothes when a inch caterpillar crawls on
you because they think it’s measuring you. Another one is when you get
spunk water, say the magic words, then your warts will magically disappear.
Huck said getting a dead cat and bringing it to a grave and waiting for
the devils and then your warts would go away. PS, write back!
Sincerely,
Spencer Lovell
