Below I'm showing my persuasive essay against my parents and I moving to Seattle. This is an 8th essay fyi. If you see any mistakes or have something you want to change email me @ [email protected] didnt finish off the closing so, give suggestions. here is the essay:
Dear Mom and Dad,
At night, the car alarms shriek as three masked men race down the street breaking windows and already fragile spirits. They smash the window of an untouched automobile and pile in, ready to make a daring escape. The engine roared, “Vvvroomm!!!” and they sped away without a thought of what they had just executed. This is a common crime occurring an average of 8,000 times every year in Seattle. I know that you are seriously considering moving there, but what about the distance from our family, what about the expense of living, and what about all of the crime? Is this city really good enough for your family?
Mom and Dad, you have always told me, “For as long as you live, family is going to be one of the most important parts of your life.” But then why would you contradict your own words? I know that you don’t want to be any closer to Sarah Palin than you already are. I understand that you adhere to more liberal views, which Seattle offers, but would you want to be more than 2,000 miles away from the rest of your family? Not only that, but you also will be uninformed of the events that occur within the Boylston kindred and it will be hard to partake in the family events. I know that you are as anxious the leaves of autumn to move, but please consider how the family and I feel about this decision at hand.
I understand you want to move, but a monkey could tell that you do not enjoy spending money and if you want to live in Seattle you’re going to have to get used to it. Seattle has some of the most expensive housing prices, with prices being moderately higher than the national average. The only other option that isn’t going to empty your pocket would be buying an apartment. You have led me to believe you hate apartments, but they are 31 times more affordable than buying a home. So, sure we can live in a noisy apartment above one of the 800 billion Starbucks or we can live happily (Coffee-free) in suburban paradise. I’m sure that you are thinking, “We’ll just buy a house once we have the money,” but forty-eight percent of all Seattle’s housing is being rented and if you want to live in the city, you will become a part of this statistic. I think you must consider what I have just presented before you even consider moving to Seattle or you will be making an obvious mistake.
You two have always been about safety, from “wear your seatbelt” to “get your shots.” Then why would you want to move to a city with so much crime? I know that you think that Atlanta has way more crime than Seattle (you would be right), but we live about an hour away from Atlanta. In living that far away we are safer from all of the city crime that is non-existent in the suburbs of Atlanta. If we moved to Seattle we would be in an urban and more crime-filled area. You might even have to worry about the safety of our family because Seattle has almost four- thousand violent crimes every year and I know for sure that you don’t want us to be a victim of one of these crimes. This is not all, you will see, because Seattle is plagued with suicides, homicides, rapes, burglaries, robberies, and larceny. I understand that you feel that moving to Seattle will be a new and fun experience for our family, but with all of this crime we could be in genuine danger, so please think about our welfare.
Mom and Dad, I understand your reasoning in moving to Seattle, but I want you to consider the facts that I have presented to which support my cause. First and foremost, I do not wish to have those closest to us so far away. I also can’t stand watching you suffer from the almost unbearable expenses of Seattle living. With all of those expenses, you can’t afford to be a victim of Seattle’s continuous crime. Our family is used to the worry free life of suburban America and I’m not sure that we are ready for this unnecessary transition to unpredictable city life.
