The parent-child relationship
I’m going to try to give this to you via comment section because it includes too many words.
(Now, this is something I pulled off the web. You could turn this in, but I don’t recommend that. Just read over this instead of the actual book if you don’t have enough time, and rewrite some of it in your own words, or rewrite it all yourself based on this.)
Dr. Wheeler entered the room and spoke words of advice regarding active verbs. The rebellious class decided that the final paper of the semester would be written entirely in passive voice. The distraught Wheeler made remarks; the students made protests. One student got out of his seat. He stood upon his desk and made a vow that he would never write another active sentence. Wheeler challenged him to a duel. He shed blood. He kicked butts. The students lost lives. People heard the student's shrieks. Concerned people ran down the halls of Henderson. They entered the room and saw carnage. They found Mr. Wheeler standing over the bodies and he spoke the words: "They made mistakes."
Active voice is when the subject of the sentence is doing the verb. Passive voice is when the action verb is done to something, but the subject is not actually capable of doing the action.
