Sullivan Ballou didn't have any idea about what was really going to happen. The clash of the amature armies at 1st Bull Run was terrible. Please write down your thoughts and/or impressions of his letter to his wife Sarah in 5 sentences. Use appropriate capitalization and punctuation. ]]> 2021-09-02 13:57:52 UTC https://padlet.com/butlerda2/8j4p900disupoxt3/wish/1712804690 ibnoucheikhl713 https://padlet.com/butlerda2/8j4p900disupoxt3/wish/1715270070 I think the letter Sullivan Ballou wrote to his wife Sarah was very sweet and romantic. The fact that he though about his wife during those moments, and to dedicate this letter to her is just amazing, and how he talks about his undying love for her, and how grateful he was to her. If I were Sarah I would feel so grateful to have him and so touched to receive such a letter. Overall it was a really sweet thing to do for his wife, and im sure she felt the same way, although she lost her husband shortly after. I hope she lived a happy life which her husband had hoped for her.]]> 2021-09-03 13:46:36 UTC https://padlet.com/butlerda2/8j4p900disupoxt3/wish/1715270070 https://padlet.com/butlerda2/8j4p900disupoxt3/wish/1715281519 My impression of Sullivan Ballou is that he had a lot of love for his wife Sarah by the way he was updating her. And how he was saying that to never forget the love that he had for her and if there was a way the dead could be around his loved one unseen that he shall be there. Even though that they had some hardships he would always have that love for her. I think he just wanted to give her something because he knew his time was coming. And he just wanted to give her his last words before he was gone.

He has a deep love for his wife and kids. This is a man who knows he's probably was going to die soon and is trying to get is all on parchment for his wife. I counldn't amagine to be in his wife shoes I hope she lived a happy and healthy life. Overall this shows he's was very caring and loving to even think about his wife at the time.]]> 2021-09-03 13:52:30 UTC https://padlet.com/butlerda2/8j4p900disupoxt3/wish/1715282970 https://padlet.com/butlerda2/8j4p900disupoxt3/wish/1715283212 I find the letter that Sullivan Ballou wrote to his wife almost beautiful. The way he writes to her and how he describes the way he loves her is surreal to me. It really shows the love he had for his country and his cause. I think that it is incredibly honorable for him to leave someone he loves so much and risk his life. It really shows how much I truly do take for granted. I can't imagine being in his shoes and leaving everything I love behind.]]> 2021-09-03 13:52:39 UTC https://padlet.com/butlerda2/8j4p900disupoxt3/wish/1715283212 https://padlet.com/butlerda2/8j4p900disupoxt3/wish/1715289198 My thoughts on the letter that Sullivan wrote to Sarah was Sad and Heart-warming. Sullivan truly cared about his wife and his kids. He loves his family so much that he said if he died, he would always be with him no matter what. One part of the letter where Sullivan said that if his wife felt a breeze across her cheek, it was him to remind her that he is there for her and he loves her so much which was so sad to me. It would be very hard for anyone to go through something like this.]]> 2021-09-03 13:55:22 UTC https://padlet.com/butlerda2/8j4p900disupoxt3/wish/1715289198 https://padlet.com/butlerda2/8j4p900disupoxt3/wish/1715291516 I think the letter Sullivan Ballou wrote to his wife Sarah was romantic and endearing. To think about his wife in such chaotic times, but having the feeling that the person you love has to know you love them, is true love in itself. The endearment comes from the ways he describes he'll always be with her, and she'll never be alone . Through this letter, I understand that he wants to comfort her as much as possible before the outcome of the war is clear. This letter shows the love, care, and thoughts he had for his wife and the fact that she had to know he loved her even if he couldn't be there to tell her himself. It would also reveal to her that she was the last thing he had been thinking about before he left for war.]]> 2021-09-03 13:56:27 UTC https://padlet.com/butlerda2/8j4p900disupoxt3/wish/1715291516 https://padlet.com/butlerda2/8j4p900disupoxt3/wish/1715292325 My impression of Sullivan and his wife is that they loved each other but, also had a strong bond that no one can break. Sullivan loved his wife very much he was in deep love with her, he wrote a letter about how much he loves her. I feel like the letter was very- heartwarming. Also, the letter can touch someone's spirit especially if they are in love with someone. so, in my opinion, the letter was heartwarming and astonishing.]]> 2021-09-03 13:56:50 UTC https://padlet.com/butlerda2/8j4p900disupoxt3/wish/1715292325 crusoer591 https://padlet.com/butlerda2/8j4p900disupoxt3/wish/1715292347 I'd say that I felt every single emotion behind his words to Sarah. I think he had felt that he might not have been able to return home, and that proved to be true sadly. In this letter, He promised his love to her forever in which if I'm being the utmost honest it is very admirable. I can't imagine the yearning and heartache these two lovers & their children must have felt. I hope that Sullivan was and can still be able to rest well for all his hard work & that Sarah got to happy again.]]> 2021-09-03 13:56:51 UTC https://padlet.com/butlerda2/8j4p900disupoxt3/wish/1715292347 https://padlet.com/butlerda2/8j4p900disupoxt3/wish/1715299776 In my opinion, the letter was very beautiful I love the fact that she was the first person he thought of when he was about to leave, the way he wrote to her was so beautiful and that he died loving her and his kids the way he said if he died there would be a whisper saying her name that really impressed me it shows that he really loves her that kind of love never dies I hope that Sarah heals from his death and Sullivan is resting knowing he did good work.]]> 2021-09-03 14:00:18 UTC https://padlet.com/butlerda2/8j4p900disupoxt3/wish/1715299776 https://padlet.com/butlerda2/8j4p900disupoxt3/wish/1715327747 I feel like the way Sullivan Ballou wrote to his wife Sarah was very thoughtful, you can tell by the letter how much love and affection he has for his wife and children. It was very heartbreaking listening to Sullivan's letter telling his wife how might things change when coming back to another moving stage all because were getting worse.  overall Sullivan's letter goes to show how much he appreciated her presents and how much he still cares about his wife about even going through a harsh time you can tell that Sullivans had deep feelings and emotional attention for her while thinking and processing his letter. ]]> 2021-09-03 14:13:14 UTC https://padlet.com/butlerda2/8j4p900disupoxt3/wish/1715327747 https://padlet.com/butlerda2/8j4p900disupoxt3/wish/1715464945 I think the letter that Sullivan Ballou was very pleasing and beautiful. I can almost just feel the two bonds they must of having for each other, they sound like they were soulmates like they were made for each other. The fact that in his letter he reassuring her that he will never leave her till the end and will be with her forever is just very heartwarming. I could not imagine the pain that his wife must felt after she found out about his death. I hope that Sarah and Sullivan will be together again so they can both rest in peace with each other again.]]> 2021-09-03 15:11:30 UTC https://padlet.com/butlerda2/8j4p900disupoxt3/wish/1715464945 https://padlet.com/butlerda2/8j4p900disupoxt3/wish/1715674300 Sullivan and his wife, in my opinion, loved each other but also shared a deep bond that no one could destroy. Sullivan was deeply in love with his wife, and he penned a letter to her expressing his feelings. I found the letter to be really uplifting. Also, the letter has the potential to influence someone's spirit, particularly if they are in love. As a result, the letter was both touching and astounding in my opinion.]]> 2021-09-03 16:41:59 UTC https://padlet.com/butlerda2/8j4p900disupoxt3/wish/1715674300 https://padlet.com/butlerda2/8j4p900disupoxt3/wish/1715722518 I think this letter shows Sullivan Ballou"s passion for his country and love for his family very well. In the letter you can tell he loves his wife and children very much. However he has so passionate for his country that he is willing to die for it. Even if he dies though he says he will always be with his family. This letter shows how someone can be passionate, determined, and love their family and country very much.]]> 2021-09-03 17:07:58 UTC https://padlet.com/butlerda2/8j4p900disupoxt3/wish/1715722518 https://padlet.com/butlerda2/8j4p900disupoxt3/wish/1715975562 I think the letter from Sullivan was sweet but also sad because he would never see Sarah or his kids again. And it shows how much he cared for her and the letter was also heartwarming. And his words you can tell the emotion. The pain between Sarah and their kids when they found out he's dead he's soul will always be with them. And this letter is very uplifting and it could probably inspire people. You could never break their bond together it was a strong bond. ]]> 2021-09-03 19:46:22 UTC https://padlet.com/butlerda2/8j4p900disupoxt3/wish/1715975562 https://padlet.com/butlerda2/8j4p900disupoxt3/wish/1715995437 personally, I thought this was such a beautiful letter that he wrote to his wife. It was very heart-touching and if you read it from her point of view you would probably burst into tears. The fact that he had the time, the patience to write her a letter while in a war. That shows that his love for her was real and inseparable, and also he probably knew his life was going to end very soon so wrote her a letter to let all his feelings out one last time. And That no matter what he would always be there for her and his kids. It felt like if God made them to be together forever. ]]> 2021-09-03 20:03:59 UTC https://padlet.com/butlerda2/8j4p900disupoxt3/wish/1715995437 thomasa244 https://padlet.com/butlerda2/8j4p900disupoxt3/wish/1716000832 I feel like it was very romantic of him to write the letter to her. That was so beautiful for such a sad letter. He obviously loves his wife and cared for their children deeply. Wishing he could watch his kids grow up. It sounded like they went through some tough stuff together. Which sounded like he was sorry for it. He loved his wife clearly, and he also knew what was going on that he had to make time to write the letter to her. It was very sweet. But it must have hurt her very much. Tho he knew they would always be togther.

He really tried his best to express his love for her in words. Him talking about when she feels a little cold breeze saying its him, made me feel like I wanted to cry. He knows he's not gonna come back home to see his wife and kids, and that's what makes this whole situation even more upsetting. The impression Sullivan Ballou left with this letter was very lovely he meant every single word he wrote. He didn't want his wife to cry but was probably sure she would. ]]> 2021-09-06 02:41:30 UTC https://padlet.com/butlerda2/8j4p900disupoxt3/wish/1718223612 https://padlet.com/butlerda2/8j4p900disupoxt3/wish/1720914199 I feel that the letter Sullivan Ballou wrote for his wife Sarah was loving and beautiful. You can tell the letter came from the heart. You can also tell that Sullivan and his wife Sarah had a deep connection and that Sullivan cared for his family and contrary. I know it must have been a hard time for his wife and kids after his passing. But they know that Sullivan is always and forever going to be with them in their hearts.]]> 2021-09-07 05:11:33 UTC https://padlet.com/butlerda2/8j4p900disupoxt3/wish/1720914199 https://padlet.com/butlerda2/8j4p900disupoxt3/wish/1721803817 Sullivan's letter to his wife was sincere and thought-put. I think Sullivan meant every word he said and acknowledged how this may have been the very last time he would communicate with her. Sullivan made the letter beautifully and emotionally written. The letter was like a goodbye message to his wife as he knew he might not have made it through battle.]]> 2021-09-07 13:14:33 UTC https://padlet.com/butlerda2/8j4p900disupoxt3/wish/1721803817 https://padlet.com/butlerda2/8j4p900disupoxt3/wish/1722955021 Imagine being away from home and in a war.

I think by him making sure he wrote this letter to his wife really shows the type of man he was. I think this is how much I should appreciate the ones I love and tell them how much I love them often.]]> 2021-09-08 02:20:03 UTC https://padlet.com/butlerda2/8j4p900disupoxt3/wish/1723500479 https://padlet.com/butlerda2/8j4p900disupoxt3/wish/1723764214 I think the letter from Sullivan was Kind and Romantic, Sad he really Expresses how much he loves his wife and kids Even tho he might not be able to see them again.

Sullivan wasn't aware of what was going on or what really happened, so I think he was prepared for what was going to happen so he just wrote the letter to his wife because he knew ahead of time that his time will come to the end. It seems like they had a very unbreakable bond, the way he described how was comforted her and said she will never be alone was so heartwarming , he just wanted her to know that he will always love her and to never give up on herself .]]> 2021-09-09 14:39:21 UTC https://padlet.com/butlerda2/8j4p900disupoxt3/wish/1728278955 https://padlet.com/butlerda2/8j4p900disupoxt3/wish/1730172193 mm..i think that the letter from it was spiritual and nice that a person would spend so much time to even put into or maybe even write about someone like that ya know. but yeah that is what i think about the letter i liked it because it was nice and fire sorry if this is short lol but yeah. ]]> 2021-09-10 06:03:47 UTC https://padlet.com/butlerda2/8j4p900disupoxt3/wish/1730172193 https://padlet.com/butlerda2/8j4p900disupoxt3/wish/1744384108 I thought the letter Sullivan Balllou wrote to his wife was romantic, he had lots of love for his wife and kids.
