Mr. Alexander,

Greetings Mr. Alexander, I hope that all your work develops in a right way. A few days ago I finished reading your book “A Day in the Life of Ivan Denisobich”, which I think is my favorite book that I have read this year. I think this is a great history that involves action, anger and how is the life of a prisoner in a jail in Moscow really is. This story combines real places and the personification and the language of the characters introduce you like in the real life and make better the plot. But I have to say that I dislike the final of the book; this is because the way that you finished the book is different from what I expected. I thought that Ivan would escape from jail and return with his family, but then I analyzed that the title of the book and it is “a day” not “the great escape of Ivan” so I think that the story is according to the title, but despite this the book is very a good and emotive.

I need to say that the way that you give the personification of all the characters is excellent also the different treatment of the prisoners and the police officers is very good because this introduces you in the story like in the real life. Also, another thing that I liked about the book is how you described the natural places or the area that surrounds the characters. For example you mention how the ice and the snow cover the buildings, the barbed wire surrounding the prison etc. It all gives you a visual representation and feel that you are in jail with the coolest weather. Also you make this with all the things that Ivan sees; for example you describe the food that is given to the prisoners or the different tools that Ivan used to resolve his problems.

So for me this book has an awesome story with action because this book is like your autobiography. I think that you combine this kind of things with different aspects of the story that make him a character that give examples of how to work in group and the real friends should never be separated. Thanks for reading this letter of what I think about your book, I hope you answer me if you read my letter.

Can Money Buy Happiness??

Everyone in the world has dreamed of having a lot of money and having a lot of money is not a bad, the bad thing of the money is what you are willing to do to get it. Money will never give you real friends in your life. Money can change the life of all the people easier but there are many rich people who have everything that they want but are not happy. Some people are rich and have a lot of money because they're people who work hard to get it and also these people love their work; who are studied and know their stuff. But there are other people trying to improve their lives and their happiness with dirty money. For example, bank robbery, drug trafficking and money laundering.

When somebody makes a robbery or is a drug dealer, he is not happy at all because he knows that what he does is a big crime and also a sin. These people have everything that they want for example girls, mansions, exclusive cars etc. and their life is like a movie; they go to parties, VIP clubs etc. but they aren’t happy. Happiness is something that is difficult to reach from the interior of the people. You can have a lot of money and material things but they can be meaningless because many things that we can reach with the money are cause of the vanity. Also it can be for society pressure and what the people will say of them.

Also with the amount of money that you have you will never get real friends. You will never have friends who appreciate you for who you are and not for what you have. For example when you have a lot of money people might be around you just to take advantage of you. For example there will be people that are your “friends” because you have the latest technology like a cell phone, computer or MP3 player. They will be your friends to ask you for what you have. There are other people who would take advantage of you because you invite them out to the best places like restaurants, malls etc. but never because they want to share a good fun moment with you. This kind of people will give you their back when you lack money and they will not help you.

So the money will not buy happiness, the money is only a piece of paper with a value that can buy you material things, money will never buy you love, laughs and happiness that your family and real friends give to you.
