An informal reading response to the book Ordinary People by Judith Guest asks me to comment how on my emotional reaction to the Jarrett family while using 3rd person and present tense. I only really need help with the beginning and then I should be able to keep going. In the first paragraph I need to establish my opinion (in 3rd person) about the Jarrett family. I may introduce characters but can't start using them to prove a point and also cannot introduce themes yet. Help? Tips?

What is your opinion about the Jarrett family?

Why?
I believe they're a strong and persevering family because of all they've been through and how they continue to keep going, Conrad and Cal anyways. But what I meant by my question is more help with the Third person and Present tense. Would that be like: The Jarrett family is strong and persevering because of all they've been through?
Yes! You've got it! :-)
