Dear Prospero,
     Hello, I am Timothy who has just read the Shakespearean story, the Tempest.  It was about you who to fix wrong into right.
     When I first meet you you seem to be an evil magician because of you using magic to raise a storm and wreck a ship. You also enslaved the spirit, Ariel and the monster, Caliban.
     Gradually, I learnt that you do not seek for revenge but justice.  You used love to put right the great wrong that was done before by your brother and old enemy.
     It’s also great for you to free Ariel and Caliban, destroy the magician staff and the books of magic and rule Milan again with your brother who had overthrown you before.  You are a kind, generous and mighty man after all.
Yours sincerely,Timothy
