Read the given paragraph below. Encircle the transitional devices used in paragraph. If you'd ask me a week ago what it would for me or feel better, I would've said knowing how Dad and Lisa and the baby, were meeting a boy my own age, and running water.

Now I have all three. I guess I must feel better.

Gabriel isn't exactly baby Rachel, but i think he's screaming less. Mom says Jon was colicky also, but i don't remember. Charlie is great with the baby. I think the only time Gabriel isn't crying is when he's nursing and when Charlie sings him lullabies.

Alex may not be the teenage boy of my dreams, but he is a teenage boy. He's eighteen, and if things had stayed normal, he'd be graduating high school this month and preparing to go to Georgetown. Julie told Jon, who told Mom, who told Matt, who told me.
