     I have double-spaced the text so that teachers can simply print it out and use it for exercises or for their own analysis. (Names have been changed.)

Parents

     I picked my Parents because I love them, I'll do anything 

that they ask of me I also hope he will stop smoking as I was 

saying my Parents give me what I ask of them I hope he gets 

me a Job in town. My sister Suzie works at Mortons Resturaunt 

on Burnhill Road so my parents said they would let me 

work in town  I love my Parents and my Parents love me. 

My mom and Dad said if I straighten up I could get a new bike 

for Christmas so I got what I wanted I hope they will stop 

arguing with my sisters I can't stand hearing my sister yell at 

my Parents like she does. My Mom was in the Hosipital with 

cancer I hope she don't have to go back to the Hospital in 

Rochester NY.  Dad has had a couple of heart attacks in a 

month but my mom saved his life  My Parents are the nicest 

people I  know and when they ask me when and how I act and 

who and how well I know them I will say hey! I live with them 

and I love them. I told my mom I had after school detention 

Monday she Just says you'll have to walk home young man 

but she does'nt yell at me  She doesent really get mad at me 

when I get suspended from school she does'nt do anything but 

ground me. She takes my motorcycle away and Dad took my 

bike away.
