WA-3 Draft 1

Dear Mr. Pullman,

I have read your books, the His Dark Materials Trilogy. They have inspired me greatly; if not in writing, but in other things in my life. I remember that my family loves me no matter who I am, or what I do. I remember that friends are always important, and they are the ones that get you through the adventures in your life. I remember that love can come from somewhere you never expected, even through a different world in the stars. I also remember that you should not deal with your soul lightly, for it is the only thing connecting you to happiness. It was your books that taught me these lessons becuase I read them at a very young age. They taught me some lessons that I would need in my life, and some that I would need if I had an armored bear as a friend, or my parents were sworn enemies but still loved each other greatly. I know that romance is not just found in the great wide world, but also in a small garden park. I learned that a story can have as much effect on the reader, then as if the reader was the one experiencing the event. You taught me all these things, and I will never feel the same again becuase of them.

Thank You so much,

Ben Mattern

P.S. You could have made the end a bit more comforting, instead of breaking her heart.
