Letter and Monologue

Dear Professor “X”,

I apologize for being absent on the day of the midterm exam. I had a fever that left me incapacitated. I sincerely hope that you will allow me to take the midterm finals due to the illness I had came down with.

From,

Brandon Man

 

The Monologue

Camping is a great time to hang out with your family or friends. Be it rain, shine, or snow, the outdoors are always a great place to relax at. You can set up your tent with great pride and joy or eat food and drink. Or just drink. No, really I think that’s the best and most memorable part. Okay, fine. The best part is actually when we went canoeing/rafting. Paddling through the Delaware River filled with white water (basically very rough water) is tiresome yet worth it. Sometimes we would get into two groups and start racing each other or we would connect the rafts together.

Also cooking food over a fire that you made is fulfilling. It’s challenging yet rewarding. You might end up burning the food, but what you can get out of it is something very tasty. This is even more so when you’re cold and tired. Also, camping is not limited to just humans. The wildlife such as deer and bears litter the camping sites. In fact, one of my friends fought off a bear with his bare hands. Or so he told us.

What I’ve learned from camping, however, is that we take the environment for granted. If all our forests and lakes are destroyed for human development, it takes away so much of the beauty from nature. Fresh air, lots of green, and beautiful vistas are many of the things that you can enjoy while camping.
