April 10, 1865Hey everyone! I'm back and the war is over! For those of you wondering about my brother George, he is fine. I found him and he only had a cut on his cheek. Although with the good news war ending we have to keep in mind of the great man our nation has lost, Aberham Lincon. He was shot by John Booth. He was shot while watching a play. Booth shot him at the climax of the play. Next he jumped of the theater balcony and broke part of his leg. We don't exactly know. He was found and killed soon after. He was trying to make his way to the deep south. John Booth was a famous actor at the time. I wrote a poem about the tragedy of Lincons death. The poem talks about how we can be glad for the victory of the Union but we still must acknowledge the death of our great leader.

Mr Whitman,
ReplyDeleteI disagree with you, I think Lincoln's death is a positive thing because he was a bad leader. He wanted to keep the Union together but as soon as he became president, six states seceded.
There are multiple spelling errors in your entry including Abraham Lincoln's name. Some sentences are hard to understand. You may have sounded a little to excited at the beginning of your entry. Good job.
