My mom drives a minivan and my dad drives a BMW 325. Both cars get us
from point A to Point B. The two automobiles solve the family problems like
my parents getting to work, me getting to school and when my friends and I
want to go to the movies both cars can save a walk. So, the basic functions
of the car and the van are the same - transportation. But the van and the
Beemer are very different in other ways. When we go grocery shopping, we
rarely, if ever, take the BMW. The trunk is too small for the amount of
groceries we usually buy. So we could get to the mall quickly but getting
home would be very uncomfortable. Another time for the van is when we go on
family vacations. The smaller car again is not as practical. I like our van
because it is like owning a family tractor trailer. But, my dad has an
image at the office so the BMW helps his ego. The car is small, fast and
sleek and the wood paneling just looks good.
Discussion of cause and effect
I love cookies. My mom tells me that making cookies is simple. By

in a bowl and then laying out small portions on a cookie sheet is all that
is needed. And, if you are lucky, you can sneak a couple of morsels of the
cookie dough because cookies are just as good raw as baked. When you put
the ingredients in an oven the effect is dramatic. The cookie dough seem to
melt into circles and then get golden and crispy after only a few minutes
at the oven temperature. When the cookies come out of the oven they are
just too darn good. Yeah, I love the cookie process from beginning to end.

be a traveling salesman and he would send me stamps from all over. I
started to classify the stamps by color when I was a kid. As I got older I
