Math Love Letter by Sarah Sookram

 

LOVE  LETTER  TO  MADAME  ADDITION  FROM  MISTER SUBTRACTION



Mister Subtraction

32 arithmetic avenue,

Numberline Junction


March 12, 2020


 Madame Addition

20 algebraic lane, 

Negative Junction 


Dear Madame Addition,

On this lovely Wednesday afternoon I Mister Subtraction am writing to you Miss Addition, because I would simply like to invite you for some lunch on Saturday 15 March, 2020. The purpose of the lunch is to catch up and discuss some things. It has been a few days since we last talked to each other so I believe that having this lunch meeting would increase the connection between us.

      I never told you this but I was in a bad place when we first met. I would have lots of negative outbursts but when I am with you Madame Addition it is like I jumped over the equation sign in Algebra and all of a sudden I have a positive mind set. Whenever I have a problem I look to you. I guess you always have the solution to most problems. I think you are amazing even though you do not  show how positive you really are everyday. It's as if you were a positive term in a Factorization expression. Your positivity is the addition to my happiness and I sincerely adore you. There are many more things I adore about you such as your beauty. Your beauty is equivalent to a Binomial expression, at first it looks simple but a second glance and suddenly your head starts to hurt and your mind is blown away. Madame Addition you are the missing side to my Equilateral triangle. Subtract you and I can never be complete, unless you take the length of one side of the triangle and add it three times.

       I know we are very different and we both have very distinctive purposes in life, in contrast to you my purpose in life is to be an arithmetic operation that is represented by finding the differences between two quantities, while your purpose my mistress is to combine numbers into a larger collection through the process of addition. Madame Addition you are the perfect match for me and only with the addition of you as a constant to my life will I finally feel complete. Even though we have major differences between us there are some things we have in common, like us both being arithmetic operations and us being literally the inverse of each other. 

     In all honesty I think we can balance off our differences and find the right solution to make this equation work. So I really hope that you would take this invitation into consideration.



Yours Respectfully,

Mister Subtraction

  2. Good day, Sarah, you're Math letter was an intriguing piece of work to read. I simply love the way you enhanced Addition and Subtraction phrases in sentences, for example, the missing side of my Equilateral triangle and how your letter had a continuous flow. Though your essay was a pleasure to read there were some minor errors that could've made your letter slightly more intriguing. For example, some Addition and Subtraction examples with numbers or rules could have been used to give a better understanding, after every paragraph a separated line could have been used which would have made it easier to read as well as look appealing to the eye, and also where you talked about beauty and you ended and began back with beauty was a little repetitive, I simply suggest next time use another adverb such as beautiful. That's honestly my thoughts on what could've been an improvement in your letter, but again great work.
