To My Dearest Ernest,

I write this to you, blushing and grinning at the prospect of us spending the rest of our lives with each other.

While pondering your union with mamma, one of my dearest carriage men has just offered me a delectable dish of fresh scones with jam and a pot of English breakfast tea to bide my time.

I sit here alone in this carriage with diary, pen and the urge to run back to you to be embellished with your words of love and the ritual of your proposal. However, during this moment of separation, I have some time to reflect. At this very moment instead showering me with promises of endless love and devotion I am under the assumption that you are being interrogated by mamma regarding our potential marriage. I am confident that she …show more content…

This is my chance to share my thoughts and current emotional state. I feel that writing you a letter regarding this topic seems quite respectable in my opinion as spoken orally, I may become lost for words.

Walking away from you after mamma sent me to the carriage was heartbreaking…
It was impossible for me to avert my eyes from yours. I could stare into the mesmerising blue eyes of the person who is now my greatest opponent, the person who would keep me alive at his own expense for the rest of my days. Only I could know that your eyes are not only blue, but a celestial phenomenon. Like the nebulae found in a galaxy, the light of unnamed stars diffused through dusts and elements of endlessness. Layers of light. Your blue eyes are starlight. Your eyes are the feature I have fallen in love with and are as earnest as the word.
“My ideal has always been to love some one of the name of Ernest. There is something in that name that inspires absolute confidence. The moment Algernon first mentioned to me that he had a friend called Ernest, I knew I was destined to love

    In Jonathan Swift’s satire, “A Modest Proposal”, Swift writes about the starving people of Ireland in the early 1700’s. He makes a wild and absurd proposal to help remedy the problems of overpopulation and poverty. Swift wants to make a political statement by using the “children” as satire to grasp the attention of the audience - the English people, the Irish politicians and the rich – and make them aware of the political, moral, and social problems. In “A Modest Proposal”, Swift’s arguments are presented effectively by using pathos (emotional appeal), ethos (ethics and values), and logos (logic reasoning and facts).

    People have been trying to come up with solutions to threatening epidemics from many years. There was a famine in Ireland that killed many people. The poor people of Ireland could not support their families, which made them go to extreme measures. In order to survive, women and children were forced to beg for food to prevent them from starving to death. Jonathan Swift proposes a solution to this epidemic in A Modest Proposal. Swift states that the poor Irish should sell their children as if they were cattle, or better yet, eat the children themselves. Swift uses a mocking tone in order to effectively convey that he does not actually support cannibalism, but rather uses it as metaphor to describe the harsh times of Ireland.

    In aiming to increase the number of health workers that provide HIV testing in public health centers in rural and urban areas, I am hoping that all people, not only those living with HIV/AIDS, realize that there is more access to affordable healthcare. One of the biggest issues that Andhra Pradesh faces currently is that most health centers are private and come at a high cost, resulting in a shortage of staff in public hospitals and clinics, leaving low-income people with less access to healthcare. By increasing the amount of staff in current public health centers, ideally the reputation of public healthcare will change for the better. As current geography of Andhra Pradesh show, public health centers are scarce and even the ones that are currently
