    The letter expresses appreciation for roses sent by Johnny, saying they are the first and last things seen each day. However, Andrea says she cannot accept Johnny's love due to her mother saying she is too young to think of love now. While Andrea appreciated the gift, she obeyed her mother by declining Johnny's love, and her answer may have differed without her mother's input. Her mother likely would disapprove if reading the letter due to Andrea's contradictory message of appreciation but declining love.

    I.

    Critical Reading: Read the letter and answer the questions that follow in complete
    sentences. (10pts.)

    Johnny dear,

    The roses you sent were beautiful and so fragrant. How I love to look at them
    from my bed. They are the first things I see when I wake up in the morning and the
    last before I go to sleep at night.
    I am sorry but I cannot accept your love. My mother says that I am too young to
    think of love right now.

    Your friend,

    Andrea
