One of my favorite pieces of writing is Dr Seuss's Green Eggs and Ham which was written by Dr. Suess and was published in 1960. It was one of the first books that i read by myself when i was a child and has been one of my favorites ever since. It showcases writing that is simple but interesting and can hook readers at any age. Here is an excerpt from the book which i got online.
"I do not like them in a house.I do not like them with a mouse.I do not like them here or there.I do not like them anywhere.I do not like green eggs and ham.I do not like them, Sam-I-am."
I think that this is a good example of writing because it has a lot of rhyming and word repitetions which makes it interesting to read as well as entertaining which is why I liked it so much as a child. I think this piece of writing is a classic that every child should have the chance to read. Though it is made for children it still showcases good writing style which should interest the average reader. Even though I am not a child anymore this piece of writing still interests me today.

Good analysis. Just use a capital "I" when referring to yourself.
