Driver

Authors note: I am writing to improve in my organization in my body paragraphs by using sophisticated transitions and quotes to support my reasoning.

Have you ever felt that you were somebody that was great at what they do until somebody important asks of you to do something that you would never think of doing? This is what happens in Rules of the Road. Jenna is a 16 year old girl that works at a shoe store and is very good at it. “I can sell anything to anyone” is one of her quotes that is true, she never lets her customers down and will get them the perfect shoe and will make sure she sells it to them. One of the main conflicts to what she does is person vs. self because her boss tells her to drive her places such as the hospital and other places and this will get Jenna scared because she has never done something so important for somebody before and because she has to battle between herself, her boss, and her dad who is an alcoholic and is drunk all the time.

As a start, her boss wants her to be her driver and she has a Cadillac and she is used to driving a Honda. Her boss is a woman that isn’t an unreasonable woman, she wouldn’t make her do anything mean or unworthy of Jenna. “As I was driving I glanced into my rear view mirror and saw Mrs. Gladstone reaching in her bag for a large blue pillow tucking under her thigh, she saw me in the mirror and quickly said ‘eyes on the road” meaning that her boss is not a mean person but is meaning that she has her reasons why she doesn’t want Jenna to see her. With her boss not being too bad she has other problems with her dad.

Thusly, meaning her dad is an alcoholic and has a problem. Her dad is always drunk and was never there for her so she is battling herself for trying to stay how she is and trying to fight her anger/ sadness because he was never there for her. Her dad came into the shoe store one day, drunk, and she could barely stand so she sat him down and tried to talk to him but of course he was drunk so she could barely get a descent word out or him that made sense. With him being drunk all the time she could barely do anything with him unless he becomes a non-alcoholic.

In conclusion, she has to fight herself towards both things in her life. Although she may be able to work things out with her boss she may never work them out with her dad. Her boss isn’t mean, but her dad doesn’t have a clue what is going on because he is drunk all the time.
