Controlling Impression



Thanh Thuy would probably sacrifice everything for her six kids, her grand children,
and the poor. Her face seems very kind, and her gray color curls make her seem even friendlier.
Back in the day we all use to live in a tiny stuff house, and she was always the only one in the
kitchen, cooking alone. Thanh Thuy was the type of mother that would cook a perfect chicken
for her kids, and she would just eat the bones, and only save the best part for her kids. She
always put her family before her no matter what. She walks to church everyday. She spends an
hour sacrificing her time for god each and everyday. Thanh Thuy is my grandma, and she inspires me.

Anecdote #1

Back then, my grandma doesn't believe in cars. She walks instead of taking a car. One time, my mother didn't want her to walk to the grocery store, so she asked my grandma
if she wanted a ride. They spent an hour arguing about cars, and nothing got done. My grandma will
never get into a car. The only vehicle she trust is the visa bus.

Anecdote #2
She always collect donations for the poor. My grandma loves helping charity. She can't past a homeless person without
donating. A couple of days ago, we were walking and we pass by a bunch of healthy looking homeless people,
and my grandma gave such a generous donation. She's always begging her kids to spare some money for the poor.

  2. I'd like to see more concrete sensory details and dialogue in these anecdotes- what was actually said in this hourlong argument?
