Class 9/17
Upon reading this, I picture a creepy, dark figure shoving a wrinkled paper towards this girl before rushing out of the room. But then part of me feels guilty for assuming so quickly, so I try thinking of alternative characters for who could have written this. Based on the amount of typos, perhaps it's a younger boy or girl that is just trying to do what is right. It maybe someone is purposefully trying to sound like a creep? Maybe even a rival or enemy that is indirectly trying to insult how this "cute girl" dresses. Whatever it may be, it certainly is an odd letter. As I dove deeper into this letter, however, I was suddenly struck with the actual purpose behind it's grammatically error'd ways. Not only was the person who delivered the letter feeling self-righteous, but he (I'm assuming) was also putting the blame on the girl, blatantly shaming and blaming her for the men she was tempting with her "immodest" clothing. And what does the word "modest" really even mean anymore?
