Default Active / Passive stories

Hi all,

I'm going to write a paper on consciousness raising and will use active and passive for my experiments (haha evil scientist laugh). I'm looking for any short story or article in the passive form. I have found heaps of sentences and I can write them up myself but for the story/article I would like to get them from another scource.

If not then I will write one up myself.

Thanks in advance,

LiK

I'm looking for some materials about the passive voice in the form of a short story or article. Just something that I can use in class. Haven't found anything yet on the net

I still don't get it? You want an article/story in the passive voice or about the passive voice?

In the passive voice. Sorry I didn't make it clear. I thought that I did but getting it from my head to the keyboard seems to be a big problem!

It might just be easier to make something up yourself. I would probably use something from the news. It's sad to say, but you can use a lot of the war articles.
