A letter to Despereaux

A Letter to Despereaux

Dear Despereaux,

            I have been fortunate enough to read your story. You are one of the most inspirational and complex mice that I have ever heard of. You, my friend, are a brave soldier and you are the Knight in shining amour. Being brave is something that most people have problems difficulty with. It is very hard sometimes to over come your fears but you have done an exceptional job. Your love for the princess has leaded you to save her and bring happiness back to the kingdom. Although your bravery, courage, motivation and love are characteristics that I admire with great respect, they are not your best traits. The best thing about you is your high values. You have showed me that you are more than just a good mouse. When you said, “I forgive you, Pa.” (DiCamillo 208) you impressed me. Even though he has done the worst possible thing that he could do to you, it showed me that you have good inside you.  Not many other people or mice are so good. I think that if more people and mice where like you, the world would be a better place. There would not be evil. The dungeons that you were sent to would no longer be dark and there would not be any prisoners inside there. The whole kingdom would be able to enjoy a nice warm bowl of soup everyday and enjoy life in happiness.

            I wish you all the good things in the world. You have brought light upon your kingdom and you deserve to live happy life with the princess. I hope that the evil rats will never bother you ever again. You earned what you have and should never lose it. I wish that I could learn from you and have your bravery, courage, happiness, and love. I have much to learn from you, just tiny mouse that weighs less than a spool of thread. I hope that you continue to live happily ever after.
