VLD Week #2

Me: Quan

My Father: Phan thi Chi

My Brother: Uncle Tan

My Mother: Ah Soong

My sister: Aunt Binh

Dear Winston,

Today was a very horrible day that you don’t want to be in my place. The day where I should escape from Vietnam to Malaysia because Vietnam is now a communist Country. Well, you know my family, we all hate communism. I don’t know how to get out from Vietnam, but I have a brilliant idea came from my brain to steal a boat named lucky dragon. Everyone agree to steal the boat at night because it’s dark and its hoard to be noticed by anyone.

Stealing a boat from the guards that watching the boat everyday is a very hard thing to do. But If we had a good plan, we sure we will get the boat. The first thing that we are going to do is me and my father will climb like a monkey under the jetty so the guard wouldn’t notice me at all. After I reached near the boat, I will go in to the boat and raised the anchor. As I do this, my mother, sister and brother will quickly go to the sandbank and wait till I arrive there. The tides push the boat towards the sandbank to pick my family and escape Vietnam safely. The good thing is the boat is drifted to a right place or not we will be in trouble.

The plan goes really well until a strong man with an olive-green hat came towards us. We all are shocked and paralyzed. We couldn’t say a single word. When e gets a better look of that guy, he was actually a sailor who owned the boat. This man is named Captain Cu and he was very dirty and smelly. Despite his ugly face and terrifying teeth, he wants to help us to go to Malaysia. I don’t know why he wants to help us, but I remembered that he is bored of living in Rach Gia and hates the communist. So it turns out this guy will come with us to leave Vietnam and go to Malaysia.

VLD Week 1

Part A

Dear uncle,

I just got very terrible news about my family about the government accused us from doing something wrong. The government will separate us in the next day, but I refused to that, instead I will leave Jakarta before the separation happens. I am really sorry that I can’t surprise you for your birthday, but I wish the best luck for you. I don’t know that this could happen because I know that I did something wrong, however my actions it not very horrifying until the government wanted to separate us from each other. So I got no choice to leave Jakarta as soon as possible. We can still contact each other by using Skype or messenger in the computer.

In this type of conditions, I usually feel normal, but instead I feel very frustrated about the plans about leaving this country. I mean if I got caught red handed, I will be doomed forever, but if the plans worked I can stay in the new country and live like nothing just happened. I expect the new country would accept us and has a lot of educational school for me. I am still thinking if I need to change my name or passport or even my family’s name. The most important think of all is I should pray to God to help me and guide us the righteous way. When I pray to God already, I feel relief that God will help us throughout the escape mission. I feel extremely nervous because I haven’t done this before in my entire life.

I really want to go back to my homeland and visit u, uncle and rest of my family. I don’t want this to happen to us. I mean can this happen to another family rather than us. I hope you can keep our money in Jakarta safely and help grandma and grandpa if they need some help.

Part B

I would feel the same as Quan because when something bad happens to me or my family, I still be tough and fix things right. I don’t quickly feel nervous or unsure of making a decision. I can be a very great leader to the family because I can lead the family easily. If one of my members pass away, I don’t cry and just keep it in my heart.
