dear mr. kline:
in two weeks our middle school will be hosting a basketball fundraiser. the event will fund the new athletic field being
built this summer. as you are a former student and member of the basketball team, i thought that you might be interested in
participating. the event will have many different contests including free throwing and ball dribbling competitions. the
current basketball team is hosting the event, and we hope that you will attend.
sincerely,
amelia grady

i decided to stay late in the laboratory to continue my experiment with the lightbulb. at midnight, thomas edison opened the door and walked in with his head held high.

1. he leaned on the wall and observed me carefully.

2. his harsh scrutiny made me self-conscious of my skills in the lab.

3. perhaps it was just me, but the air in the laboratory began to thicken as i found myself having difficulty to breathe.

4. i turned to look at him fully as i mentally prepared myself for what my very first words would be to thomas edison.

5. the next couple of seconds shocked me. it wasn't me who spoke, but rather him and with diction i could never think of using in a simple sentence.
