Homework…

Going through some stuff on my computer and deleting, I found this. Alyx wrote it last year. I didn’t want to lose it, but can’t keep it on my computer anymore.

A Family of Love

                (HOOK) “Families are like fudge – mostly sweet with a few nuts.” (G.D.T) My family may be a bit crazy, but they care for me more than anyone can. They care for me and are on my side even if I am wrong. (Thesis) My family is important to me because they are always there for me, they show me what really matters, and we forever bond.

            (TS) To begin with, my family is important to me because they are always there for me. (1^st PT) First, when I am sick, my family always takes care of me. For example, when I had the stomach flu, my mom took a while off work to make sure I was not too hot or cold, fed, and comfortable. She went to the store multiple times to get soup and gadgets to entertain me. (2^nd PT) Moreover, My family supports me in sports. (EX) My mom, dad, and sisters went to every one of my soccer games to cheer me on, even after the many losses, they never gave up on me. Two days a week, for about four years, my dad has been at all of my karate classes, bought me all my gear, and supplies I need, and taken me to all the tournaments. (CS) My family means a lot to me because they stick by me.

            (TS) In addition, because my family shows me what really matters, they are very meaningful to me. (1^st PT) To start with, laughter, honesty, hope, and courage, are traits and ideals that really matter. ( EX) Through thick and thin, we have still had hope that we would get better. After a sad divorce, we still laughed and had courage to accept the new adventures in life. (2^nd PT) Similarly, they have shown me that sticking together is the most fundamental way of life. (EX) Through the drama of our daily lives, we are happier when we are together and support one another. We are each other’s best friends and support system.  (CS) In short, my family is important to me because they  show me the ideals that matter, and we stick together.

            (TS) Finally, family is the main idea because we have forever bonded. (1^st PT) One, we share many common interests. (EX) For example, my sister and I both do karate, and my family love music. Together we sing and dance. (2^nd PT) Likewise, we cook, bake, and hang out. (EX) Whether it is playing a board game or baking, we share laughs. For my sisters sixteenth birthday, we made a homemade cake and we messed up many times, but each time was a good laugh and memory. (CS) Thus, sharing common interests and hanging out with eachother makes my family very important to me.

            (RT) All in all, family is the central force because they are on my side, show me the ideals that are needed, and we share good memories. (Summary) Everyone needs someone to talk to, help them, love them, and always be on their side, and family has and does all of it. (Clincher) So why do family always care for you?
