The Bride Wore Black - letter from beyond the grave (after reading)

 Imagine Steve could write a 'ghost' letter to Kate...

My dear Kate,

I am sorry to leave you feeling lonely. But when you fell onto the ground next to the grave, I was very glad that I felt your real love for me.

Certainly I am a criminal. I was in prison at the age of eighteen. But my life was changed after I met you! I love you, Kate. You were always singing and laughing. I was always happy to be with you. I never feel you are noisy. If I will be able to be reborn, I want to get marry with you again.

I have a lot of enemies. But I did not notice that Bea deadly hated on me… It was my fault. She was a secretary of my dad, but I should not have invited her for our wedding. I needed to care about her feelings. Don’t blame Bea on my death.

And I was sorry about my mam. As you know, she was not hate on you. She just wanted me to marry her friend, Bea.

I love to see your smile. I want to see your nice smile again. So do not cry any more. You have nice mam and clever young sister. Smile again, Kate!

With real love from heaven,

Steve

After reading about a wedding...The Bride Wore Black

Last autumn, my younger sister married and had a wedding.

In Japan, a bride and broom serve all guests delicious meal and give them entertainment in their wedding party. So, the bride and broom need to consider/arrange various issues/goods before wedding party.

I did a part-time job in wedding party for almost 2 years and my younger sister also arranged various issues with me and my advice.

My younger sister spend hard time before her wedding party, but on the day, she enjoyed her wedding party very much. I was very glad to see her happy smile and also enjoyed her wedding party very much and laughed all day.

Not just the wedding party of my younger sister, a wedding party always feel me happy and can hope truly that the bride and broom (sic) have a happy life.

After reading "The Bride Wore Black" - tell us about a wedding you've been to

I went to wedding on February 8th. It was heavy snowing that was record. To go wedding of venues, I wore rain boots. While driving, it was keeping snowing.. When I arrived at venues, car park had been covered snow. Everything was white.

The wedding ceremony was delayed due to the heavy snow. The parents of groom could not arrived on time. The ceremony was scheduled to start from 12 o'clock but a lot of people include the parents could not come by the time. I waited a hour and the wedding party started without the parents of groom. There was only few people for groom. He felt lonely and his speech was sad. Eventually, his parents and his friends arrived. The groom face became happy. The friends prepared video letter for the bridal couple.

The beginning was not good but finally the wedding was nice and happy.

Finished wedding, my car was buried by snow.. I dig snow to rescue my car..

A letter from beyond the grave - creative writing after reading "The Bride Wore Black"

"Ghost" letter written by Yuri

Dear Kate,

I am very sorry to you. I didn’t know Bea is so dangerous woman. And I can’t believe she killed me. But it was true. I am happy because you and your sister are well. My thought wasn’t wrong. I should get marry you, not Bea. But I can’t.

Thank you for love me.

Now I love you more than when I lived.

I wish you will be happy.
Good-bye and see you next world.

Love Steve

The importance of attending a funeral

 After reading "The Bride Wore Black" - writing exercise:

In my memory, I have been to funeral twice. One was for my grandfather, and other was for my friend.

I think funeral was the time to send-off the late person to the other world. And people can say good-bye to the late person. And also people can forget to cry because of busyness for preparation the funeral.

When I attended my friend’s funeral, I met a lot of my old friends. We talked about our student’s life and recent situation. Of course we talked about late person. She was a leader of one of girl’s group. I could remember about her clearly.

When the dates of funeral have come, I remember about them. I think this is also important for them or their family.

There are some pictures which we took them at the day of my grandfather’s funeral. They are family’s pictures. But all of us were smile. I was shocked and very sad when he died. But I was smile. Because I could talk about him a lot and I could say good-bye. I thought all of our family was same.
So I think it is important to attend the funeral.
