“jake, jason, wait up! have you heard about the school play? it’s the little mermaid and the auditions are this friday. you guys should totally try out with me,” exclaimed amber.

“ugh. i hear lilly is doing it, as always! mrs. brown said that she’s going to get the featured role no matter what! ” snapped jake.

“e! she’s so weird. that’s why she has no friends.” agreed jason.

“i guess it would our chances at homecoming king and queen, so why not,” stated jake.

“i’m in,” said jason.

“well, i will see you at auditions on friday.”

two days later, amber, jake, jason, lilly, and many more students showed up at auditions.

after everyone finished reading lines from different scenes, singing songs, and trying out the dances, ten kids were cut.

“gaylord balcom, hosea jack, vera fuselier, kacy poplar, scottie wallen, deeanna soukup, brant dipaola, jeffie parnell, monte heilig, terrell metzer. you are cut” yelled mrs. brown.

once the roles were announced, lilly and jake learned that they would play the roles of prince eric and ariel. they were both very upset with this but they both wanted lead roles, so didn’t say anything to mrs. brown.
one day, while rehearsing, mrs. brown told them that they had to kiss. lilly and jake hated this because they didn’t like each other’s personalities very much and thought it was very weird to kiss each other. they both begged for that scene to be removed from the play but mrs. brown refused.

opening night had arrived. they were both super nervous, but confident. when it came time for the big kiss, which had not been rehearsed, lilly and jake were super embarrassed. jake had realized that he was starting to have feelings for lilly. he learned how kind she was during their time rehearsing together and started liking her personality a lot more and didn’t think of the geeky version of her as much. after the play, he let her know and she said that she felt the same way but since they were seniors and the school year was ending soon, it would not make sense for them to start dating be.

“well, where are you attending college, lilly? ” asked jake.

“stanford” replied lilly.

“no way. this is unbelievable! ” yelled jake. “i am going to stanford as well.”

once they learned that they would be in the same place for four more years, they were elated. they started dating two weeks later and, little did they know, they would be spending the rest of their lives together. they lived together in college and, after graduating, they got married. once they learned each other’s true personalities, they fell in love. this shows true love and that you should not judge a book by the cover.

 “Jake! Jason! Wait up! Have you heard about the school play? The auditions for The Little Mermaid are this Friday. You guys should totally try out with me !,” exclaimed Amber excitedly.

“Ugh. I hear Lilly is auditioning, as always! Mrs. Brown said that she’s going to get the featured role, no matter what!” snapped Jake.

“E ! She’s so weird. That’s why she has no friends.” agreed Jason.

“I guess it WOULD help our chances at becoming homecoming king and queen,” thought Jake.

“ Sounds like fun! I’m in !”, said Jason.

“Well, I`ll see both you at auditions on Friday.”

faulty parallelism is a grammar construction where there is no balance in the parts of a sentence they have a similar meaning but the grammar structure is not equivalent.

the correct version of this faulty parallelism in the sentence is:

jefferson wrote the declaration of independence, and he was the nation's third president.

the problem with the first version is that the sentence:

"jefferson was both the writer of the declaration of independence"

presents jefferson as both a subject and an agent for the verb "write" because if he was "the writer" then the declaration of independence was written by him, besides that fact, the sentence presents a dependent clause.

while the second sentence:

he was the nation's third president.

presents a basic subject+verb+object structure

so, to give a proper balance to the structure, or better said, to give a parallel structure, we must write a basic s+v+o structure in both sentences:

jefferson wrote the declaration of independence, and he was the nation third president.

the significance of the title, "the passing", is related to the fact that the main characters, who are three african-american descendant women, are passing as white. this means that, because of their light-coloured skins they look like white women. one of the three friends, clare, is married to a white man and she lives in a white community and she has never told her husband that she is black. the title can easily be connected to the idea of pretending to be someone you are not and of losing your real identity in order to be accepted by society.
