Sonia hated doing chores. Furthermore, she was bad at them. She and her sister needed to fix up the house before
selling it, however, so there was no getting around the
work. The porch needed to be painted, the fridge needed to
be replaced, and the carpet needed to be shampooed.
Suddenly, Sonia had an idea. All of these tasks would cost
money. Maybe she could work out a deal with her sister to
pay for everything - the paint, the new fridge, and the
carpet shampoo - if her sister did all the work.

What type of writing is demonstrated in this excerpt by general philip henry sheridan? at once i set about preparing for the examination which precedes admission to the military academy, studying zealously under the direction of mr. william clark; my old teachers, mcnanly and thorn, having disappeared from somerset and sought new fields of usefulness. the intervening months passed rapidly away, and i fear that i did not make much progress, yet i thought i should be able to pass the preliminary examination. that which was to follow worried me more and gave me many sleepless nights; but these would have been less in number, i fully believe, had it not been for one specification of my, outfit which the circular that accompanied my appointment demanded. this requirement was a pair of "monroe shoes." now, out in ohio, what "monroe shoes" were was a mystery—not a shoemaker in my section having so much as an inkling of the construction of the perplexing things, until finally my eldest brother brought an idea of them from baltimore, when it was found that they were a familiar pattern under another name. a. research essay b. persuasive essay c. biography d. memoir
