Look at the example I've written. Notice I've written about one of my father's patients, not about my father directly. You may choose to write as I have about someone your relative knew or you may wish to write about your relative directly. Start by giving a little background about the person you are talking to or writing about. You may quote them directly (i.e. have them tell their own story) or give a version of their story in your own words. When writing, include an example of a compound and complex sentence. Underline them and label them so I can check if you've used them correctly or not.
