Think about a chore that you hate doing. Explain reasons you hate that chore.

A Sample Mission:Blueprint, cont.taking out garbage TOPICsmells bad REASONsour milk -EXAMPLEchunks at the bottom SHOWSclothes smell WHAT DIFF?Id rather - Conclude your paragraphA Sample Mission:Body Paragraph Draft The primary reason I hate taking out the garbage is that the smell is one that would make a skunk gag. For example, used cat litter, leftover fish, and worst of all, sour milk occupy the heavy Hefty. The spoiled milk collects in clusters of curdled chunks at the bottom of the bag. After dropping that nasty mess at the curb, the rancid odor clings to my clothes like maple syrup on buttermilk pancakes. To be honest, Id rather do ten hours of math homework than take the garbage out.Directive CompletedTo accept this mission, contact your direct supervisor, and state the code word: EXPOSITORY. Good luck, special agents.This message willself-destructin 5 seconds
