first semester portfolio-my favorite piece

The genre of my favorite piece is a cause and effect paper. It is about my mom and dad getting divorced and what the cause and effects of it is. It is my favorite piece because it is probably the hardest story I have ever worked on. The idea just came to me when I was in English class talking to Mr. Weier.


Mom and Dad Getting Divorced

Divorce is hard, and it makes for a lot of changes. Having my mom, brother, and sister live in Sturgis. Costs us a lot of money and time. I also miss them a lot. We are forced to drive 5 hours to go see them. It cost a lot of money for a ford f150 truck to drive over 300 miles. It costs over $100 in gas each time I want to see my mom, brother, and sister. Since we also have to pay for oil changes and food, there is another hundred dollars that we have to spend.

Not seeing my family in a long time hurts me. Because I only get to see my brother and sister and mom on the holidays, and in the summer time! Not waking up to my mom’s cooking stinks. Because she used to make me and my brother and sister muffins! Fresh out of the oven for breakfast before we went to school! Not seeing my whole family at the dinner table eating like a family stinks. I like to have a family conversation about what I did in school! I just miss my mom and my brother and sister. I can’t wait to see then on my Christmas break. All in all I think after all these years my parents would move closer, because I don’t like to drive over 6 hours just to see my family. I like it when I am at my mom’s house because my mom lives in Sturgis and her mom and dad and her brother and sister live in Rapid City. That is like an hour away. I would like it if she would move closer to me. Or we would move closer to her.
