Then, he showed me a letter that came from Martin Luther High School. First of all, I wasn't expecting letters of acceptance till late December or early January, which made this letter even more surprising. Then I walked to the kitchen table with curiosity as my mom snatched the letter from me to see what's inside. After she ripped open the envelope apart, I took it back to see two papers with some interesting news on them. On the top of the first paper was the sentence, " Congratulations!

Which first start with the problem that the reader and writer are affected by, and then moves to a neutral view not to cause action right away. this way the reader views as if it’s their perspective on the side instead of the opposing-side.
