Young Mary Lennox is orphaned by an earthquake in India and sent to England to live with her uncle in a cold ancestral manor in Yorkshire. Mary briefly meets him, still mourning for his wife who died ten years ago, but she is mostly left on her own. A resourceful and inquisitive girl, she soon makes two exciting discoveries. First she finds an overgrown secret garden, the favorite of her aunt and locked up since her death. Second, that she has a cousin, Colin, a sickly boy who has been told he must remain in bed out of the daylight at all times. Once Mary and another new friend, Dickon, have brought the garden back to life they decide Colin must see it, a decision that will change several lives.
An argumentative form of writing must be used to persuade the citizens to vote for a new reform bill. In this manner, the pros and cons of the bill will be deliberated and decided on with much objectivity. An argumentative form of writing enables a person to lay out all the possible reasoning why the bill will work. It may also argue where the bill can be used better and how it can further improve in terms of its application to society.
