Holden, You Would Love...

Hey Holden!
Its me again. I really hope you got to read my letter about MKA. After writing that letter to you, I spent some more time thinking about how you would like the real world. I decided its not fair to just write a letter on something you would hate, so I decided I would write a letter on something you would love as well, summer camp. I think you would love summer camp for a variety of different reasons. First of all, most have traditions that are very important to the camp lifestyle. I think you would like this concept of tradition because it never changes. You say you hate change. For instance, that time at the museum when you said you like the art because it never changes. I am pretty sure you would like camp traditions for the same reason. I also think you would like the sense of community that summer camps have. Especially because you are clearly not close with your family, and you do not have a strong support system. I think a support system is crucial for a young boy. I think camp would offer that to you. I also think you would like the fact that at camp people tend to really be themselves. You would get a chance to really know the real personalities of people, not fake or phony ones. I also think you would like the fact that camps tend to stay in one location. You have talked a great deal about how much you have to move. I think you would really like a place where you could be sure that you will be coming back to summer after summer. I think the fact that camp and its location are for the most part permanent would be something you would like. Holden, I think you would enjoy the playfulness and child-like memories you would form at camp. Summer camp is place where your never forced to grow old. Even as a soon-to-be adult, you still get the chance to eat kids food, play games, watch movies, and just hang out all summer. It is a place where u don't need to accept responsibility. Summer camp is also completely separate from the adult world, which you seam to hate. You say that you hate the phoniness of the adult world. At summer camp, there are very few adults to influence your time. For the most part, its just kids and young consolers. Also, if you went to a boys camp you would not need to face the pressure of sex. Which seamed to be a big theme in your story. So, since I had some spare time on my hands, I decided i would research some camps for you. Out of all the boys camps I looked at this one was my favorite. Its called Brant Lake. Here is the link if you want to look around the website a little. Brant Lake Camp". Ok well i hope you take my advice. Look into some summer camps, I think you would really enjoy it. Nice to write to you again.

Always,
