2.       Is the point or purpose of the description clear?  Can you find a sentence (or two) that reveals the writer’s reason for writing this descriptive essay?  If the thesis is explicitly stated, copy and paste it below…if the thesis is inferred, type what you believe to be the writer’s thesis below: 

      The scene in which she is describing is very clear and easy to imagine.  The purpose of her writing is also easy to imagine as she is trying to reveal her own story as to why drinking and driving is extremely dangerous.  The following sentences reveal her whole reason of writing this essay as to describe the impact of her night:  "Witnessing this incident has strong affected my life.  Drunk driving can have some serious consequences.  I think to myself, what if I was on the other side of that sidewalk?  I could have been what the pole was.  That thought seriously impacts me.  Drinking and driving just isn't worth it."

      I believe her thesis is something along the lines of trying to encourage people to stop drinking and driving.  She does this by giving her own experience and relating it to other possible outcomes.
