Read Melissa Unbankes's "The King and I" on pages 132- 137 of The Norton Sampler. In this short narrative, the author, Melissa Unbankes, describes her grandmother and tells how their relationship changed over time. After reading the story, write a paragraph about a friend or family member, considering the following: What does the person do? Does the person have a job or career, or is his/her focus on taking care of family? What is something the person is passionate about? What is a place you associate with that person? What is one annoying or unusual trait about that person? What does that person mean to you? Now, write the paragraph. Be sure you start with a topic sentence, which is a general statement that introduces the person to the audience.

Answer and Explanation:

The person I want to describe is my mother. She does not have a formal job, but takes care of the home and family like no one else. My mother is very dedicated to making the house comfortable for the whole family and she is always fulfilling all our wishes. She says that she is passionate about it and that she is happy if we feel happy with the environment. I wish she had more time for her, but she says that is her duty. I always associate my mother with a call of comfort and calm, where I can have total freedom, like my room, for example. She has no annoying features, except during board games where she likes to cheat, but it is not out of malice. My mother means the greatest symbol of kindness and dedication that I can have, I hope she is very happy.
