Letter to Vahan

Dear Vahan,

                I believe that the choice you made regarding joining the Turkish refugees was a good move to keep yourself alive. I feel that this may be rather risky though, because you might be caught if you utter even one word or acknowledge someone that speaks to you, without trying to get your attention using visual gestures. To "say" that you were a deaf-mute was a good idea, but I believe that acknowledging them and setting yourself up as a mute would have been a better choice, because then you could react to them in more ways, and would only have to be cautious regarding your voice..

                This was a very dangerous move, and if you are found out, any number of things could happen to you. I hope this all works out for you.

                Sincerely,

                        Trent
