Dear Sally,

Do you still enjoy the idea of being married before the eighth grade? “[Sitting] at home because [you’re] afraid to go outside without his permission” (Cisneros 102). One of the most upsetting things I’ve heard. You weren’t ready to get married Sally. You were too young and too immature. You didn’t know anything about marriage considering all the actions you’ve taken in the past. Are you really in love Sally? It’s really hard to believe that a person, not even in the eighth grade, knows when their true love has arrived. Everyone thinks that you married just so you could escape, but look where you are. You’re trapped in a house with no freedom. “[You’re husband] won’t let [you] talk on the telephone. And he doesn’t let [you] look out the window. And he doesn’t like [your] friends, so nobody gets to visit [you] unless he is working” (101-102). You’re alone Sally. Every part of your life is controlled by him. You can’t escape by marrying someone you hardly knew, you just got yourself in a worst boat. Also, Sally are you really happy? I know you say you are happy, but I can’t believe you are truly happy with everything that you are having to go through. You’re like a slave and have no friends. You’re isolated from the rest of the world and have no control over anything. I truly feel sorry for you, Sally. I hope you somehow make your life better and make the right decisions later in your life.

My Dearest Farewell, Michael
