English assignment

The following letter was an English assignment. I was supposed to write a letter from the perspective of an oak tree about to be chopped down.

A plea for life
 I, Archibald D. Oak make a desperate plea for my life to be spared. If you were to chop me down, you would be destroying the homes of countless birds, the food source of squirrels, and the shade of all main street. This hunk of metal called a skyscraper that you intend to erect over my grave, will it ever be as majestic as a fingerprint of our creator pointing toward heaven? 
      I beg of you, please thoughtfully reconsider.
                    Sincerely,
                          Archibald D. Oak

Well written, Katie! I like your fun letter writing style. An oak tree certainly IS one of the most majestic trees, isn't it? Archibald is a good name for such a tree. :)
