"Think About Pardoning Me" Every year the president of the United States pardons a turkey. Pardon means to be cleared, freed, or let go. Assume the role of a turkey and write a formal letter to the President explaining why you should be pardoned.
DOESN'T HAVE TO BE SO LONG ( 1 paragraph )

Dear President,

I am but a humble turkey. I am a working man, and I have children to feed. I beg of you to pardon me, so that I may raise my sons to be your next feast. Take them, not me! My bones are old, and my flesh rots, but my sons-- maybe they are to your liking. But please- pardon me so that I might be able to save my daughter and my wife! Do not let the turkey species go extinct!

-Your favorite turkey, Turk.

All who looked at Miss Gilder knew she wanted nothing more than to be the head of the household. After all, she had been at Chambord Manor since coming of age all those decades ago. For decades, she had worked up from scrubbing floors to cooking to answering the doors and then finally to overseeing Lady Kirsten’s wardrobe and calendar.


When Lady Kirsten told her that Miss Richards was retiring, and asked Miss Gilder if she would like to assume her duties, Miss Gilder cried. On that day, she said publicly, “This is the happiest of my life.” She was now the head of the household.




Miss Gilder in Charge


All who looked at Miss Gilder knew she had not been friendly with Miss Richards, but she had respected her professionally. In fact, Miss Gilder was nothing if not respectful to everyone she met.


Miss Gilder was especially respectful around the other servants. Even in a position of authority, she was hardly a tyrant. She would assign the servants their duties each day and would sternly talk to them if they did not perform them. But so long as they acted professionally and performed their tasks, Miss Gilder had no need to get harsh with them.


Nor did Miss Gilder get close to them. She did not care about their personal lives nor their pasts. As far as she was concerned, all were exactly like her, and she was only at Chambord Manor to work.




Miss Gilder at Night


All who looked at Miss Gilder knew she went home each night to a happy and respectful house. They knew that, though she was a spinster, she was not one of those typical unmarried old women, the type who were miserable and downtrodden. She would never, for instance, cry at night for her lost youth or opportunity. Nor would she ever feel crippling bouts of loneliness and despair when she thought each morning of rising and returning to her profession where she would have to put on a face of solemn respect and joy.


All who looked at Miss Gilder knew she was content. But that is only because they only saw her at Chambord Manor.
