I also thought that this movie was going to be about a love story at first. I also like the point you made, saying that Frank and Helene not meeting made it more personal.

I like these tips for writing a good cover letter! It is important that we do not repeat everything in our resume and that we stay specific to our strengths for that specific job.

I will ensure to keep my cover letter concise.

This is a good reminder not to waste space by repeating what’s already in my resume. I’ll focus on adding new information in my cover letters, such as qualities that make me a great fit for the role, rather than just listing skills.

This makes sense—each cover letter should show my specific interest in the job. In future applications, I’ll make sure to customize my letters, mentioning the company and role to show that I’m genuinely interested and have done my research.

I would definitely use this as a reminder to always connect my experiences to the job I’m applying for. In the future, I’ll make sure my cover letters clearly show how my skills match the job description, making it easy for employers to see why I’d be a good fit.

It's interesting how you described the letter as 'burning hot' rather than cold, as it really emphasizes the intensity and aggressiveness of the language used. It makes it clear that the FBI wasn't just being threatening, and they were openly hostile, in their attempt to intimidate MLK.

I haven’t read this short story, but this comment about Caroline’s isolation really stood out to me. It makes me curious about why her family was so cut off from others and how that affected her life.

I totally understand what you mean here. Jane’s letters seemed like she was trying to show that she cared, but they didn’t come across as heartfelt. It makes you wonder how much their separation affected their connection.

I feel this way as well!

This is a very powerful observation, which highlights the emotional care that soldiers had to protect their loved ones.

Great work, this was very interesting to read!

I find it super interesting that you chose to write specifically about the experiences of individuals living in Greece during WWII. It is surprising to hear that people were also taken away to ghettos in Greece, since I read multiple letters recently of similar things happening near Poland.
