CHOICE 1: Describe and comment on a vehicle that you own, once owned, or have driven. Compose this essay in the third-person point of view of a vehicle owner. Remember, you are writing about the third person, not as the third person. Provide a given name for that vehicle owner in every paragraph. For example, Isaac.

Compose this essay in the third-person point of view of that elderly person’s next-door neighbor. Provide a given name for that neighbor in every paragraph. For example, Elizabeth.
