There are two infractions in life that are unforgiveable to me. The two offenses are: betrayal and deceit. With that being said, it is detestable in my opinion when one engages in both and causes irreparable damage to the innocent. Although, I must say that I personally find it perturbing when an immediate family member is the offender. Betrayal that is committed by a family member must be one of the worst kinds of pain that an individual can experience.  The act, in and of itself is heinous in nature.  However, when someone in your own family, whom you have loved and trusted your entire life commits such a grave offense, it goes beyond physical and emotional pain.  Betrayal and deceit leave indelible imprints on our hearts that time cannot erase nor fade away.

Grammar Point:

Adjectives are words that are used to describe. They can be used to describe size, shape color, number and senses. They may also come after the state of being verbs such as: am, is are, was & were.  Adjectives can also help you compare two nouns by adding er to the end of the word. An example of this is: Nico is taller than Gigi. You can also compare more than two nouns by adding est to the end of the word.  An example of this is: Nico is the tallest boy in the class.

Write a 3 paragraph composition telling me about something that you feel very strongly about and use a minimum of five adjectives in your writing.  Please include one adjective that ends in er and one that ends in est.
