a chair to sit in, a boy sitting beside the window sill asked me, “Are you new in this
school?” and I answered shyly, “Yes.” Then, he offered me the vacant seat beside him. He
was Jasper, an old student in that school. We got along with each other well in our

our research work. After a year, we both realized that in many ways we had a lot of

age. His hairy arms were quite short for his size or maybe his weight makes them seem
shorter than I expect them to be. His big paw-like hands were soft and cuddly. That’s

Paragraph 1. DEJA VU
Deja vu is a French word meaning "already seen", it has also been described as a feeling
or experience that one has seen or done something before. For example, you are waiting
in line to check out at the grocery store and the lady behind you asks you to hand her a
pack of gum. Suddenly you get an overwhelming feeling that you have been there in that
exact same spot, talking to the same lady, even the same brand of gum. Even though
everything seems so familiar you know there is no way that could have happened before.
There are many theories as to why and how this phenomenon happens. One theory is
that deja vu is connected with temporal-lobe epilepsy, but people without a history of
epilepsy have also experienced deja vu. Psychiatrists believe it is something in your
brain that confuses an event that happened in the past with the present. Another theory
is parapsychologist think it is connected with past life experiences. Whether deja vu is
an experience of the paranormal or simply some confusion in the brain, it is a perplexing
feeling of having "already seen."

Paragraph 2. TYPES OF FRIENDS

Friends can be classified according to their honesty, loyalty, the type that fits you into
their schedule, or the type that finds time for you when they need something. An honest
friend tells you the truth even if it’s not always what you want to hear. In the long run,
that honest friend may have saved you from embarrassment or possibly rejection. They
give you constructive criticism overall. The loyal friend is the type of friend that will be
there for you through the thick and the thin. They don’t care how good or bad you may
look one day; they are sensitive to your feelings, they respect you and the other people in
your life, and most of all they will never let you down when times are hard. They may be
what you call a best friend. The third group, the person that fits you into their schedule,
is the type of person that is always on the go. They barely have time for themselves let
alone another person. More than likely they will not be there for you when you need
them most, because they are so wrapped up in their busy, hectic life. Then you have the
self-absorbent type of “friend” that finds time for you only when they need something.
This type of person isn’t what you would call a friend. This person may always be
extremely nice to you because they know that if are nice to you then they will more than
likely get what they want. They will call you every once in a while, when it is almost time
for them to use that person again. It may be for a ride to work, home, or they just want
somebody to hang out with because they have no other friends. If the person that is
being used is smart they will eventually realize that they are getting used and will stop
being there for that person.
1. How do the two paragraphs differ in terms of purpose in developing the paragraphs?
a. Paragraph 1 intends to define what is “déjà vu” by stating its origin and giving an
instance that will clearly explain what it is like while Paragraph 2 intends to classify

d. Paragraph 1 intends to classify what is “déjà vu” by stating words that can appeal to
the senses of the readers to clearly explain what it is like while Paragraph 2 intends to
define the ways on how to find new friends in terms of identified traits.

2. How do the two paragraphs differ in feature/structuring the paragraphs?
