<span>Unfortunately you didn't share any options so that I could give you the right answer but I have one suggestion for you. Do not decide to describe the problems with the American legal system if you need to write a five-paragraph essay about a current social issue. Just because this topic is not a shallow one and you will need to analyse loads of information that should be included without reducing the sense. I hope it's clear. I would write something like ''the dangers of using cell phones while driving''.</span>
"<em>The other items your parents bequeathed to us,"</em>
and
"<em>until there was no longer any physical trace of you in the house."</em>
are both written in second-person. The narrator is directly addressing someone else, i.e., speaking to them with "you".
