5 Paragraph Persuasive Essay Practice


Celia, The Best Boat There Ever Was!


When I grow up I think I'd make a great boat (Lund). I've always enjoyed being out on the water. I am also a pretty good naviagator. Most of all, I'm really tough. Therefore, I will be the best Lund ever created!

Being on the ocean is something I really enjoy. It's so exciting, and just a little bit scary, to be in rough seas, while being tossed around. When I'm on the water, I feel free, but tiny in the big ocean. I am to the ocean, what cookies are to milk. Being able to be in the water as a boat for the rest of my life would make me very happy.

Navigating has always come naturally to me. There was that time when I was on an Allen Marine Boat and we were hopelessly lost and I managed to read the charts to find out where we were. I'm always aware of my surroundings and remember what certain places look like. Whenever I go out on the boat with my dad, I look at the GPS all the time. Being able to navigate is just another step closer to becoming a Lund skiff.

I have become very tough throughout my life from climbing, pulling up skates, being stuck in wind and snow, carrying my tenor saxophone, ect. I have learned how to hold my breath for a long time, which is tough itself, from swimming. When I become a boat, I will definitely need to hold my breath and be durable. The time I spend outside has made me very tough, and is sure to give me and an advantage when it comes to becoming a boat.

The three most important ingredients required in order to become a successful Lund is a love of the ocean, being able to navigate, and having a certain toughness, and I've got all of them! I want to take the longest trip on a skiff ever made! I'm never so happy when I'm in the midst of sea life. It's like Safaya said, "Celia, you're a fish!" When I become a boat, I will surely be the happiest Lund the world has ever seen, and that is why I'll be the best Lund there ever was.
