"The Drive-In Movies" a story by American novelist Gary Soto, in wich the narrator is also a character who shows a hard work spirit; waxing the car is one of those tasks, which turned out badly due the boys ran out of wax and continued polishing harder but with only soxes and the wrong kind of wax so the car paint started coming off; therefore in summary, the most suitable answer would be that:
<em>"the boys didn't have the proper tools or know-how to wax a car"</em>.
so all you have to do for the first one is write about someone that happened to you in the past or if you are speaking 3rd person/2nd/person/1st person write about it like that. and for the second one just write tiny affirmations or whatever
