Please help you don't even have to do all of it! 35 points!!

Imagine that you are in the following situation and complete the assignment that follows.

Situation: A month ago, you were out with some friends and got into a little bit of trouble. Your parents grounded you for a month. You have never been in trouble in any way before that. Now that it is over, they have told you that you can go out again with friends on Friday and Saturday evenings only, and you must be home by 9:00. You would like more lenient rules. Several of your friends have plans for the coming Saturday, plans that would require you to get home after 11:00 PM at the earliest. You are going to write a note to your friends to explain the situation, and you are going to write a message to your parents in which you ask for a different set of rules.

Assignment: Do each part of this assignment on the same document and hand it in as directed.

Part I: Consider Audience and Purpose
For each message [Part II and Part III] write a well-developed paragraph that describes the audience and purpose(s). Discuss how audience and purpose affected content, tone, and diction in each part.

Part II: Note to your friends
Write a 1-2 paragraph email to your friends explaining the situation.

Part III: Letter to Parents
Write a 1-2 paragraph letter to your parents asking for a different set of rules.

For each paragraph in the assignment be sure that you have:

A hook – an interesting first line
A topic sentence
3 supporting ideas
Specific evidence and examples
A clincher – an interesting closing statement.
Transition between ideas [words like first, then, next, however, therefore, thus, etc]
A well-developed paragraph is 7-11 sentences

Part. III

Answer:

Dear __________,

I am so sorry to inform my best of friends that I won't be able to go with you guys regularly as I used to and I can't stay as late as I used to because of my parents. My parents have decided and I have agreed that I am only allowed to go out on Saturday's and Sunday's anytime until after 9 PM. I have to be home by 9 PM. I respect my parents choice as we made some wrong choices and we got into some serious trouble, especially me as my parents grounded me for a month! I do ask you if you could please change the times so I can spend the same amount of times or you guys can drop me off at 9 PM and you can continue to have the fun. I am sorry for my choice but I understand that this is for my good and my parents will never make a rule that would harm me or put me away from their safety. So on this Saturday please pick me up to the event and then drop me off at home before 9 PM as I want to stay obedient to my parents who love me and care for me!

Sincerely, ___________
