Change the voice of following paragraph by rewriting it to reflect a softer tone.
If you want your rent this month, you'd better do something about the leaky kitchen faucet. I've told you about this at least five times and still you have done nothing. The dripping at night driving me mad. I don't know what ever possessed me to rent such a pigsty. But if you don't do something about it, I'm going to go to the city and complain and tell them what a roach-infested dump you're renting to innocent people.

What attitude towards medical doctors does the following paragraph reveal? What kind of person might write such a paragraph?

If I had a cancer, I would not submit to chemotherapy. I watched my mom have chemotherapy, and it made her so weak that she often said, "I can't take this anymore."

This is not art; it is the revelation of a sick mind. All I could see were me and women photographed against a white wall. Some kind of weird circle of light surrounded their heads. But their faces were dark and wrinkled. The ugliness of their faces really buffed me. I felt depressed to think that this Halloween type exhibit was considered great modern art and was shown at the local museum.
