Blog 4: Performance Task: Letters

I. In the character of Dexter, write a letter in which you profess your love to Judy and tell her what she represents to you.

Dear Judy,

I don't know how to start this letter, because I'm afraid it might be the end of our good acquaintance, or if I'm lucky, the realization of my dreams, which is for you to love me as I love you. I told myself I might as well take the risks because it's the only remedy I know that could unburden this feeling I've been keeping ever since.        
Judy, I love you. I know you'll find it hard to believe me if I tell you how much you mean to me. I could hardly understand what I feel for you, knowing how to endure those long sleepless nights just thinking only of you.
I've never been like this before. I just don't know how to pour out my feelings for you. I wanted to find the perfect words to make you realize how much I need you and love you, but words continue to elude me, what would they be? Something poetic? I'm sure it should be heartfelt and out of the ordinary. I'm afraid it's no use; every time I look at you, the words came out the same… I love you!


  Love always,   
Dexter    

II. In the character of Judy, respond to Dexter’s letter, sharing with him any feelings you have for him.

Dear Dexter,

So there's been something heavy on my mind and heart, which I've finally decided to reveal to you my deepest feelings. It is just as much overwhelming for me writing this to you as it would be to speak these words. But honestly, you are absolutely and simply, unlike any guy I've ever met in all of my years in living, just as much as these feelings are completely unlike any other feeling that I've felt for anyone before.
            You probably don't even know it, probably truly don't even recognize the full extent of the feelings you make me feel. Feelings that I cannot believe that I was ever capable of feeling, because I never felt them for anyone before, anyone but you. You consume my mind at every waking moment, funny enough, you also appear in my dreams. I feel so shy around you, you probably don't even notice it. I say stupid, silly, and random things to you just to give myself a reason to interact with you, when in reality, my mind goes blank and there is nothing that I can or want to say to you other than my affectionate feelings that I feel for you in the present, so I force other insignificant words out of my mouth.
            I love you, also Dexter.

  Faithfully Yours,     

Judy      


III. Based on these letters, write a brief analysis of why the relationship should succeed or fail.

Every relationship has its complications and everyone tries their best to make it work. But if a relationship has to break, then nothing in the world can stop it, but people try their best to save it. If a relationship was meant to be, then people should be lucky to have that person in their life. In relationships, people assume that there’s only the romantic type of relationships. However, being in a relationship can also mean being in family relationships with some degree on kinship through blood, marriage, or adoption. Friendships are strengthened when friends regard each other with affection, trust, and respect. The relationship must succeed if both of the lovers are happy and contented with each other.
