Hi Mr. Stewart, How are you? My senior year has been going very well so far, especially my English class! I wrote a creative piece about the renovated [new school in my town] and I got the highest grade in the class! I felt sincerely proud of my writing for the first time and I owe it all to your class. I was recently reading the Globe and found an amazing sentence that basically summed up your course this summer. It is from a film review, written by Ty Burr, about "A Film Unfinished." It received four stars, which is so rare for the Globe. The sentence read: "Most movingly, we watch five elderly survivors of the Ghetto as they watch the flickering black-and-white footage, scoffing at prop flowers on tables ('We would have eaten flowers,' one says), gasping as they recognize acquaintances in the street, weeping when the scenes come of each day's corpes–men, women, children–shoveled into the mass grave in another part of the city." Immediately when I read it, I thought of your class and how much it taught me. Thank you so much for starting this program; it truly changed my writing for the better. Hi, Don: I just thought I'd write to you and fill you in on how the course last summer helped [my son] on the writing portion of the SAT, which he re-took in November. Up. 70 points. 90th percentile. WOW! As you can imagine, we were thrilled, and relieved. So I'd say your course was a huge help. Thanks so much!
