He censored letter, and found his letters only to censor his own. kmcgruther https://padlet.com/kmcgruther/thesispractice/wish/224166385 2018-01-24 11:43:32 UTC https://padlet.com/kmcgruther/thesispractice/wish/224166385 Body 3: In the story, “The Censors” the author Luisa Valenzuela uses letters to symbolize how the government truly works and how it was used to manipulate others.
