I found the following information online. I do not know whether it would be helpful for  In the story "Contents of the Dead Man's Pocket" by Jack Finney, Tom Benecke illustrates a round character.  He does not remain static.  Tom Benecke will not be the same man at the end of the story. In the beginning of the story, Tom does not go to the movies with his wife Clare.  He prefers to stay at home and ruminate about his project. You would need to work further on your paper and I think that if you need more profound help with it, Prime Writings site would be the perfect choice to make.

Does anyone have any advice on how to write this essay? I don't even know where to start
Lena [83]

Answer:

"I open the car door and call out to them 45 minutes before it's time to get on the road. I then sit back and watch the X Games/ WWE matches that are surely to unfold as my 7 children and the poor dog eventually make their way to the vehicle. "We'll look at this..." I point out to no one in particular. "They're only 30 seconds past the 45 minute headstart that I gave them." And we're off still later than was planned, of course."

Explanation:

This is just one of the many stories I've told my friends and family as it pertains to being a mother of 7. That's 6 boys and 1 girl. Time nor age make your children move on schedule. LoL

*Start with action or dialogue.

*Ask a question or set of questions.

*Describe the setting so readers can imagine it.

*Give background information that will interest readers.

*Introduce yourself to readers in a surprising way

I hope this helps. This was a state to state road trip my husband and I took with our squad.
