wwi

this was homework for my history class, (im in freshman history) we had to write a letter to a friend or family member back home who is thinking about joining wwi. its set in 1914 till 1918

Dear...

Today and the past months have been horrible. The air is dirty and filled with pain and the smell of  deicing bodies. Blood and mud swaps around our feet when we stand, and  the sounds coming from are hungry stomachs are almost as loud as the sound of bullets being fired. There are rats that steal what little food we have, and hunger is consuming all of us. If I don't die from starvation or disease then it will be by a bullet, despite what they said i will not be returning home, dead or alive. I have watched men go over the top, both my knees and his shaking from being terrified and lack of nutrition. It's  a suicide mission, this whole war is only a ginormous black hole of death, going on forever and ever. The bloodshed has be only getting worse, and i don't see it stopping.  are bodies can't take much more, we are slowly dying a painful miserable death. Don't join, it's hell on earth here. If u join you will be thrown right into the line of fire to try and defend yourself, and you will fail. Don't listen to them, They all lied, all the signs and posters we saw are lying. We don't have beds, food, or housing, we are in a hole dig in the ground. They said we would be doing a favor to our home, to our safety,  But this is torture. death would be less tragic than these conditions.  I wish i was home to hold my family in my arms again, But i can't. You can though so  don't join the fight, stay to take care of my family and your family,Stay to fight the war at home.
