Paradise Road Letter
Writing Task 1
Conflicts can be resolved when people find common ground- the universal language of music creates awareness of the humanity and decency of the ‘enemy.’

To Adrienne,
I am writing to you to show my appreciation for you and your women for displaying such a wonderful talent of singing. Music for me is something that I desire, its soothing for my heart. The music you produced is very heart warming and beautiful. I kindly ask you to teach me how to sing this music one day if you want. I also want to state that I and my men express our deep apology for treating you and your women unacceptably and kindly ask you for your forgiveness. We are very sorry for what we have caused for you and your women. Please forgive us. Let us know if you want anything in return and we will act upon it, as you wish.
The moment of listening to your music made me and my men to think outside the box because it had a very emotional tune in it. Our thoughts were instantly distracted by the music and changed our thinking towards life and the treatment of you and the women, we began to think about our individual lives and realise what’s really happening around us whether it be the suffering you and your women are going through, I think we were blinded before until the music opened our eyes.
The music created within us a coming to our senses about our actions toward you and the women; we began to have feelings of guilt because we treat you and your women very harshly and killing innocent women like yourself. We very much regret of what we have done.
We began to ponder and wonder what life is really like and change our way of life it really disgusts us of what is happening here, we certainly didn’t want this to happen. It certainly touched our hearts very much. It was so beautiful that we were about to give in to tears. We have never experienced such an emotion in years
I just wish you and I have that moment again, so I can sing to you. My heart says to do this; this
