2. Introduction and Summary of the story.
_ This story is about Steven Wells and his daughter, Jenifer. When Steven was a little boy, his father didn't be close to him and didn't play with him, so he told himself that he will be a good father. Therefore, when Jenifer was born, he did as well as he can. He spends a lot of time to play with little Jen. However, when Jenifer was 14 years old, Steven and Jenifer's mother got divorce. As a 14 years old girl, Jenifer didn't get upset or sad, she even comfort Stev. Ultimately, now, Steven and Jenifer have living together, and they love each other more than themselves.
