with a negative, grumpy outlook and slowly adjust their attitudes becoming more
pleasant and generous.

his own and others’ actions, thoughts, and statements. You must include the
page number supporting your claim. 5 –10 examples should be listed. Include a
proper heading, use descriptive (adverbs and adjectives) words, and be specific.
