Description
Without going into a steady rant, I’d like to simply explain a couple things. Just to make sure we’re on the same page. Sound fair enough to you, sir?As you said, some people love English, others don’t. It’s not a judgment of the person’s character, just their general preference of learning. I understand I need to develop my writing skills with some major fine-tuning. That’s where an experienced adult such as you comes into play.
When I write, I don’t lie. I don’t hide or shield my opinions, whether they are positive or negative. I voice them just as any person should and be justified to do so. Perhaps I need to limit my views?
Mr. Masaoka, I’m so very aware that you are not my therapist. Thank so much for stating the obvious. When commenting on my work, I would greatly appreciate it if you treated every word with the respect you would request of me. If you would prefer that I took your assignments and treated them with pure distaste, I most certainly will. Please, sir, consider taking your words and somehow twist them into critique I can work from. I aim to improve my skills as a writer so that in my future, I may profit from my abilities. I do your assignments as you request: with effort. Next time I suppose I could keep my problems to myself. I know how to sound like a textbook. For the next poem or memoir I’m assigned, I’ll keep my subject like all the rest. I’ll speak of cuddly puppies and fresh daises.
Keep in mind that is not my reality. My daisies are wilted, if you must know, sir. I can safely consider that poor excuse of writing another’s. It’s just another paper for you to scan for spelling errors and hurriedly scribble “Nice Work” at the top in red ink.
Forgive me for attempting to become a minority.
Best Wishes,
Sarah

I do agree, but to an extent. I mean, I understand that if you are talking of personal experience then you should have free range and your english teacher should not judge you based upon it, but if the work was just angst over nothing really, then I can see why a person would tell you to "stop your bitching."
I wrote a poem about a girl who got raped from the perspective of her attacker. My english teacher loved it, but was afraid that it happened to me. I gave it to another one of my english teachers (i have two) and I made her cry.
If it's personal experience, I back you up. I back you up if it isn't. You should be able to write whatever the fuck you want. So fuck your teacher. And fuck like... everything I just said. I contradict myself all the fucking time. Oh well.

Whoever commented you telling you that you should change it in anyway, TELL 'EM TO FUCK OFF. I FUCKING LOVE THAT LETTER. Did you send that, dude!? YOU SHOULD FUCKING SEND THAT!!! ^____^ Dude, I think I might ACTUALLY be an English teacher when I'm older... SERIOUSLY!!! I REALLY WANT TO BE AND ENGLISH TEACHER and teach the future kids how to express THEMSELVES. Not fucking pussy ponies who prance around being... WHATEVER the fuck they are. I'M SERIOUS. They can either write about what makes them HAPPY, or what really pisses them off, and tell them that they CAN IN FACT swear, but obviously limited, in only 3 swear words in their whole work. You still gotta abide by the rules, BUT I'D BE A GOOD FUCKING TEACHER. ^-^;; YAY! lol okay byez.

very well voiced... I wrote a poem in response to a comment given by a teacher once... "The Cow Eats Slow" if you want to take a look at it. One suggestion... if you are going to send it to him... I'd take another look at it... there are some grammar issues... fragment sentences and such. All in all... very poignant piece... fairly well structured... you could change the paragraphs a little... I think there are spots where there should be a new line and others where you didn't need to start one. If you would like help let me know, I'll be glad to do so.

Very nice. You should send it to him. If he doesnt treat your work with respect, then he deserves to be bitched at.

my teacher is about the same way "poetry is about love, and story telling, not your petty angsts. talk to your friends, or parents about it, i don't want to see it again. THIS is not poetry, this is a waste of whatever meager talent you have. If you don't shape up, you'll fail my class"
do it. send it. please. One less "gumdrops and rainbows" type poetry major will be a boon to us all.
