Dear Mark Nowak,

My name is Nourah, and I am a master degree seeking, English Literature, at Indiana University of Peen. Your book ” Coal Mountain Elementary” is one of the required books at the Postmodernism literature class for this semester.

And I am writing to you as a thank for such a stunning piece that highlights a real issue related to the labor and their rights. Being based on a depressing accident, truth story, make it more powerful to attract my attention, and some of my classmates as well. I like also the usage of all the available tools that includes articles, photographs, and official statements. That was a good idea in documenting the story with all of its belongings.

Nevertheless, such a helping things make me wondering if this can be considered a “pure book”, so that it is your book and you have all the Intellectual rights for it. Or, is it a smart and strong way of claiming your issue as an interested of labors rights?

Regardless of that, I enjoyed reading it as I felt being involved in some places. it was indeed such a touching book, as I believe that writing- in general- has to deeply deal with the society issues. Whether by reminding people of a certain event, or by producing a whole work based on that event.

Sincerely,

Nourah
