There have been many instances where I have to use synthesis in order persuade my parents so that I can do what I wish, because they is very difficult to convince, I need multiple strong supports for my position. One instance where I had to persuade my parents was when I wanted to get our first dog. I was fourteen years old when I first used synthesis without knowing it. A Siberian Husky was the dog of my dream, and I just had to have one!
At first I just would simply as my mom or dad if we could have one and the answer was always no, so I decided to hint to them through other means. My first idea was to take as many dog magazines from my aunt that I could so that I could cut out all of the Siberian Husky pictures that I could in order to place them all over the house, allowing my parents to see how cute they were in the snow! Next, I looked though many days worth of newspaper in order to find all of the dogs that were for sale with the location and price, and I would smoothly lay them around the house, too. Karlee, my best friend, has had a Siberian Husky practically her whole life, so I had her talk to my parents about getting me a dog. Through all of this hard work and planning I had been doing, my parents replied that those pure breed dogs cost a lot of money, so I started saving a jar of money that I let out for them to see which could be used for the vet, food, or payment of the dog.
This however was not all that I did, I also started searching for Siberian Husky mixes. Through tons of searching I finally found a family that had a litter of Siberian Husky/German Shepherd mix (which is even better because it is my two favorite breeds) which were selling them for free, and just so happen to live right beside my grandparents five miles away. Perfect! So… I wondered if my parents wanted to go visit grandma and grandpa. They did and I had them first follow me to the neighbors, where we talked to the family and played with the dogs. After all of this work, I finally got to take home my first dog, Minka, the Siberian Husky German Shepherd!
