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 13:59:04 UTC https://padlet.com/butlerda2/k6kb6flahrqjpa84/wish/1712807754 https://padlet.com/butlerda2/k6kb6flahrqjpa84/wish/1715559376 2021-09-03 15:45:03 UTC https://padlet.com/butlerda2/k6kb6flahrqjpa84/wish/1715559376 irivingl690 https://padlet.com/butlerda2/k6kb6flahrqjpa84/wish/1715565979 Sullivan Ballou's letter to his wife Sara was very beautiful and detailed. I feel that the letter was bittersweet because he kept on indicating that he would not live through the war, it was almost as if it was a goodbye letter. If I was Sara I would grieve a lot much about his death. I couldn't understand most of it but it was still very heartfelt. These are my thought on his letter.]]> 2021-09-03 15:48:22 UTC https://padlet.com/butlerda2/k6kb6flahrqjpa84/wish/1715565979 https://padlet.com/butlerda2/k6kb6flahrqjpa84/wish/1715566391 I cant even begin to fathom what it would feel like being away from my wife for months,
only being able to communicate through letters that take weeks to get from one place to another.  Worrying about my family, wondering what they´re thinking and doing. 
how they´re coping with my being gone in a war. A war where im almost 100% sure i wont come back from without, ptsd a missing arm or just flat out dead. I think the letter was very interesting and gave us a real look at what it was truly like back then ]]> 2021-09-03 15:48:34 UTC https://padlet.com/butlerda2/k6kb6flahrqjpa84/wish/1715566391 https://padlet.com/butlerda2/k6kb6flahrqjpa84/wish/1715566462 I feel like sullivan ballou kind of knew that he wasn't gonna make it back home after the war so he wrote a letter to his wife. In the letter he was basically telling her don't be sad about him dying be cause he will always be with her. He was also telling her basically how he loves her and they will meet again in another lifetime. He probably was scared for his life going onto that field. He was telling her don't mourn over him]]> 2021-09-03 15:48:36 UTC https://padlet.com/butlerda2/k6kb6flahrqjpa84/wish/1715566462 https://padlet.com/butlerda2/k6kb6flahrqjpa84/wish/1715566508 My impression was that Sullivan really loved his wife and they had a beautiful relationship. He wanted to let his wife know that he might not make it and that no matter what he will always be with her.]]> 2021-09-03 15:48:37 UTC https://padlet.com/butlerda2/k6kb6flahrqjpa84/wish/1715566508 https://padlet.com/butlerda2/k6kb6flahrqjpa84/wish/1715568019 Sullivan's letter seemed very sincere & detailed as he loved his wife more than anything. I believe Ballou felt like he was going to die, and wanted to get his last words to his wife & children. being away from family is very hard especially when in the service. I think what Sullivan did for his wife was very sweet a lot of people don't get to hear their loved ones' last words to them. ]]> 2021-09-03 15:49:20 UTC https://padlet.com/butlerda2/k6kb6flahrqjpa84/wish/1715568019 lagunai251 https://padlet.com/butlerda2/k6kb6flahrqjpa84/wish/1715568386 i can't believe that he wrote a letter then died a week later. he love his wife so much that he said she is a something. the only thing i was interesting is at the end and saying what he have to go through. it sad that he never get to see his wife again and died at war but he  is a hero for going to war.  it tells us how much his wife and he alaways will be with her . ]]> 2021-09-03 15:49:31 UTC https://padlet.com/butlerda2/k6kb6flahrqjpa84/wish/1715568386 https://padlet.com/butlerda2/k6kb6flahrqjpa84/wish/1715569672 You can tell Sullivan felt about fighting in the war saying how he thought he owed his life to fight in the war for those who have died. You could tell he loved his wife very much and if he was going to die in the war he wanted her to not morn but wait because he knew he was going to see Sarah once again. He said their love was deathless that only a higher power could break and that in his death on the battlefield he would whisper her name with his last breath. He said he'd visit her once again in spirit. He was thinking of writing the letter not only about the war but about their kids and about Sarah and the time he wished he had in the future with her and watching their kids grow.]]> 2021-09-03 15:50:09 UTC https://padlet.com/butlerda2/k6kb6flahrqjpa84/wish/1715569672 https://padlet.com/butlerda2/k6kb6flahrqjpa84/wish/1715597787 I think the letter was very beautiful. Being in the war I know is hard especially if you have family. It was very sad that he had to tell her that he was going to die. Being away from family I know is hard too but I know his wife is upset. So is his kids I know his wife had alot to say about him death and what happened. ]]> 2021-09-03 16:03:21 UTC https://padlet.com/butlerda2/k6kb6flahrqjpa84/wish/1715597787 https://padlet.com/butlerda2/k6kb6flahrqjpa84/wish/1715661057 I feel like he wanted to let his wife know that he would be with her in the afterlife to comfort her. I think he said this to keep her motivated to continue on after his death. He might have also said this to encourage her to do things with the thought that he was next to her after death. I believe he knew he was going to die and he cared enough for his wife to give her a goodbye letter. I also think that he didn't want to leave his family but he still wanted to stay in the war.]]> 2021-09-03 16:35:04 UTC https://padlet.com/butlerda2/k6kb6flahrqjpa84/wish/1715661057 https://padlet.com/butlerda2/k6kb6flahrqjpa84/wish/1715780889 Sullivan Ballou's letter was very beautiful. He feels like he was very scared that he won't see his wife again. He knew he was not going to make it back home but he did not want Sara to be super upset and just give up on him coming back. He also wanted her to know how much he wanted to be back with her and his kids. And he wanted her to know he would be watching over her in the afterlife. ]]> 2021-09-03 17:38:37 UTC https://padlet.com/butlerda2/k6kb6flahrqjpa84/wish/1715780889 https://padlet.com/butlerda2/k6kb6flahrqjpa84/wish/1715864453 Imagine being away from home and in a war.

He starts to tell her about the war and how its going to end. He then tells her that he's going to miss her and the kids. Then, he says he appreciates the times they had with each other. Before, passing away he says"Don't think I'm dead, think im gone and just wait for me."]]> 2021-09-03 22:35:36 UTC https://padlet.com/butlerda2/k6kb6flahrqjpa84/wish/1716124749 https://padlet.com/butlerda2/k6kb6flahrqjpa84/wish/1717013070 My impression on the letter was sullivan loved and appreciated his wife very much. They really seemed to have a great relationship. He really just wanted to make her feel safe in a way, that he was always going to be by her side. Being from family is hard and not seeing his kids grow even harder. Overall the letter had a lot of meaning and it was really thoughtful of him to let her know what was going on. ]]> 2021-09-05 02:36:33 UTC https://padlet.com/butlerda2/k6kb6flahrqjpa84/wish/1717013070 https://padlet.com/butlerda2/k6kb6flahrqjpa84/wish/1718189847 I feel like like that sullivan really loved his wife because he was away form her and no way to communicate with her and he took his time to write her a letter. I think it was very said for his wife that he had to tell her he going to die in the war and i know it was hard for him to be away form his family. I fell like like sullivan really wanted her to feel safe and his kids safe. I feel very sad that when he wrote that letter to his wife and died a week letter is sad. I know he was going threw a hard time not seeing his family while in war at the same time and i know he was scared because he was seeing people die in face and other things. ]]> 2021-09-06 02:27:35 UTC https://padlet.com/butlerda2/k6kb6flahrqjpa84/wish/1718189847 https://padlet.com/butlerda2/k6kb6flahrqjpa84/wish/1721868688 Sullivan Ballou's letter to his wife Sara was very beautiful and detailed.

I feel this way because i believe he knew he didn't have much longer to live. and still he wrote to her. he wrote about his love for her and his love for his kids. he wanted her to know how much he meant to her]]> 2021-09-07 15:20:45 UTC https://padlet.com/butlerda2/k6kb6flahrqjpa84/wish/1722200379 https://padlet.com/butlerda2/k6kb6flahrqjpa84/wish/1722219026 I feel bad for Sullivan because just imagine being forced to be away from home and in a war. Not evening knowing if you're going to come back to see your friends and family. Which is why he made this letter in the first place as a "In case anything bad happens to me I just wanted to say _______".  I also I really liked the fact that you can really tell that sullivan really loved his wife because he was away form her and he made that letter to her and fineliy (I diddn't spell that right )tells her how he TRUELY feels about her. The part where he says " If u feel a cold breaze (diddn't spell that right to) on your cheek that is my breath on you" which is such a great metaphor as in he basicaly said "I will be with you always even after my last breath".]]> 2021-09-07 15:26:24 UTC https://padlet.com/butlerda2/k6kb6flahrqjpa84/wish/1722219026 https://padlet.com/butlerda2/k6kb6flahrqjpa84/wish/1722225315 2021-09-07 15:28:30 UTC https://padlet.com/butlerda2/k6kb6flahrqjpa84/wish/1722225315 paynem976 https://padlet.com/butlerda2/k6kb6flahrqjpa84/wish/1728976082 I feel like Sullivan Ballou really loved his wife, and he was prepared for any outcome. I feel like he knew he had to write her or he would regret it later. I feel sad that he died and now his kids are without a dad, and his wife is without a husband. Sullivan Ballou really cared for his family. He is so brave going into the war knowing it was a possibility he would not make it out alive.]]> 2021-09-09 18:43:43 UTC https://padlet.com/butlerda2/k6kb6flahrqjpa84/wish/1728976082 https://padlet.com/butlerda2/k6kb6flahrqjpa84/wish/1736520494
