Question

After more than 30 minutes of sitting in the sun waiting for a tow truck to come, Dawn was tired and frustrated. I’m tired of just sitting here waiting. She thought that maybe since she’d spent so much time in mechanic shops, some of their repair skills had rubbed off on her.
First, Dawn figured out how to open the hood. That was quite the accomplishment for someone who had never so much as held a screw driver. “Okay, I’ve got this under control,” she said to herself.
Next, Dawn tried to figure out where the smoke she saw may have been coming from. “I have no clue what any of this stuff under here is; nevertheless, I am pretty sure I can figure it out.”
Then, she burned her hand on one of the hot metal pieces near what she thought might be the engine.
“I can’t take it anymore!” Dawn screamed and slammed the hood of her car down. “This piece of a car has broken down on me for the last time.”
“I looked at so many cars before I decided on this one. I can’t believe I got stuck with a lemon!”
She thought back to the day she first saw the car online. It had seemed so perfect, Dawn thought. The whole way to the car dealership she had prayed it would be as nice as the pictures online.
For the most part, the cars she had seen up until then had been complete junkers. It hadn’t taken her a minute to make up her mind not to buy them. Thus, it was a major surprise for her to see that the car looked even better than its pictures. The car was in her price range, too. After all the trouble Dawn had gone through, this car seemed too good to be true.
Also, she never test drove the car for herself. Maybe that’s where I went wrong? Dawn thought. The next day after she bought the car, it started acting weird. It jerked every time she tried to press the gas and acted like it was going to stop.
Finally, the tow truck arrived, and she was snapped out of her memories. Dawn was once again transported to her mechanic. All in all, I guess dealing with this car situation has taught me patience and perseverance, Dawn thought.
