How to use take on in a sentence?

  1. David Vespremi:

I think Jim [Strouse] wrote a really realistic and a very honest take on what family is… He writes real honest people and real honest situations that you have to live through, and that’s what life is. Life isn't simple and predictable; it’s actually very messy.

  5. Jefrey Pollock:

    Senator Manchin has always been an independent fighter for West Virginia, willing to take on either party to do what is right for his state, he looks forward to seeing the results of the GOP primary and having the voters review his clear record of delivering results for the people of West Virginia.
