O Captain, My Captain:

O my chivalrous Captain, after you read my heart-wrenching plea, I hope it will persuade you to make a wise judgement and possibly save me from this gruesome situation. Every person comes to this world with a mission to be fulfilled. I believe my task is to be successful and a child that my family could be proud of. Being only a young, naive 17 year old Asian girl, there is much more out there for me to learn and experience in life. If I'm fortunate enough to be one of the chosen verdicts to survive, I truly believe that my intelligent mind will lead me to a bright future that will benefit not only myself, but many others. Looking at the past years of my education, I have achieved an outstanding performance in all academic and elective courses, exceeding a 95% average. My excellent grades could potentially contribute to you, My Captain's graduation of your teaching practicum and future career. Also, my loving family will thank and pray for you like lost souls to God in case of any haunting "shadows" that might be chasing for you. In addition, my achievements have brought an immeasurable amount of pleasant memories among my family and I, which we all cherish very much. Furthermore, they heavily rely on me as their personal translator to the English-speaking society. If I suddenly disappear from their world, it would indubitably be an inconvenience in their considerations. As caring, warm-hearted as your Highness, I believe you wouldn't bare to see my family live in such troublesome and heart aching environment. Especially for my 81 year old fragile grandfather who had overcame several strokes and heart failure incidents. If I die, I do not guarantee if he will be able to endure this miserable news. Finally, I appreciate My Captain, your valuable time for reading my plea, I hope you can save my life from this horrendous situation. Keep in mind, if you save my life, you essentially save another (p.s. my grandfather ~~ save one = save two! ), and you're not only doing me a favour, but also for yourself in order to pass your practicum. So please My Captain, let your comprehensive brain make the most meticulous decision, one that you won't regret.

Sincerely,

Wendy Tan
