Paragraph 1:

(1)In addition to fighting acne, I felt compelled to fight my family. (2)As a teenager, I needed to be independent. (3)At that time, the most important thing in life was to be close to my friends and to try out new, more adult experiences.

(4)Unfortunately, my family seemed to get in the way. (5)My little brother, for instance, turned into my enemy. (6)We are close now, though. (7)In fact, Eddie recently painted my new apartment for me. (8)Eddie used to barge into my room, listen to my phone conversations, and read my secret letters. (9)I would threaten to tie him up and leave him in a garbage dumpster. (10)He would scream, my mother would yell, and all hell would break loose. (11)My parents, too, were enemies. (12)They wouldn't let me stay out late, wear the clothes I wanted to wear, or hang around with the friends I liked. (13)So I tried to get revenge on them by being miserable, sulky, and sarcastic at home.

Paragraph 2:

(1)Football fans wear their official team T-shirts and warm-up jackets to the

mall, the supermarket, the classroom, and even — if they can get away

with it —to work. (2)Some workplaces allow their staff to wear

whatever they like, but some do not. (3)If the team offers a giveaway

item, the fans rush to the stadium to claim the hat or sports bag or water

bottle that is being handed out that day. (4)Baseball fans go similarly

nuts when their favorite teams give away some attractive freebie.

(5)Football fans just plain behave insanely. (6)Even the fact that fans

spend the coldest months of the year huddling on icy metal benches in

places like Chicago proves it. (7)In addition, football fans decorate their

houses with football-related items of every kind. (8)To them, team

bumper stickers belong not only on car bumpers, but also on fireplace

mantels and front doors. (9)When they go to a game, which they do as

often as possible, they also decorate their bodies. (10)True football fans

not only put on their team jackets and grab their pennants but also paint

their heads to look like helmets or wear glow-in-the-dark cheeseheads.

(11)At the game, these fans devote enormous energy to trying to get a

"wave" going.
