While reading the chapter why I'm not where you are, I was having trouble figuring out who
the letters were really written too. Before reading this chapter I had thought
that Thomas was writing the letter to the other Thomas, his son, because he had
left him. Then during this chapter I began to question this assumption. On page
208, it said "sometimes my had starts to burn and I am convinced that we
are writing the same word at the same moment", this quote went along with
my theory that Thomas is writing this to the son that he abandoned, but then on
page 214 it said, “In the days and weeks that lead to my release, I looked for
my parents and for Anna and or you”. This quote made me believe that he was writing
the letters to Anna’s son now because just before that Thomas had learned that
she was pregnant. I continued to read and on page 215 it said “your aunt had told
me that she was pregnant, I was over joyed…”, this once again made me stop and
think that maybe it really is to his abandoned son and not Anna’s son.
So I guess I’m asking who you think that these letters are
written to? Am I missing something that tells us who the letters are really
for, or am I supposed to be unsure?
Thanks a lot for this useful information
