Heather Spooner: Zachary Marching-Ant, I like your impassioned plea to the Americans. The tone of your letter appropriately fits the way the Cherokees responded to prejudice and persecution. They sought for equality and justice through the law and other peaceful methods. You did well to mention historical events such as the first encounters with Europeans, the state of Georgia's mistreatment of the Cherokee, and the Cherokee siding with the British during the war. Your letter is poetic as well. Very vivid word imagery. Keep up the good work!
Kimberly Garland: Wonderful, I love it. Your post are always interesting but I think this is your best.
Professor Richard Cox: Excellent job! You obviously put much thought and effort into this.
