She's probably good at math, she probably aced the class, she probably never kissed a boy, she probably smells of trash.
They saw her walking past the lockers, all the kids would laugh,
Any given chance, the kids would call her yandere Chan.
But what if she was actually mad, and she was from us,
And what if actually that was me, I'm actually into rap.
My favorite thing is music, I'm bad at math,
I have a friend, he's Cuban, my other friend is Jewish,
But giving all these labels to my friends is pretty useless.
We're all connected, every color, creed, race or sex,
The only way I gain perspective: if my judgment's laid to rest.
'Cause all we want is some respect, they put that on my name,
I'm balling every day to be the hottest in the game.
My skin and face will never change, that's just the way I'm made,
I know that every life is beautiful, I'll never be ashamed.

What type of writing is demonstrated in this excerpt by general philip henry sheridan? at once i set about preparing for the examination which precedes admission to the military academy, studying zealously under the direction of mr. william clark; my old teachers, mcnanly and thorn, having disappeared from somerset and sought new fields of usefulness. the intervening months passed rapidly away, and i fear that i did not make much progress, yet i thought i should be able to pass the preliminary examination. that which was to follow worried me more and gave me many sleepless nights; but these would have been less in number, i fully believe, had it not been for one specification of my, outfit which the circular that accompanied my appointment demanded. this requirement was a pair of "monroe shoes." now, out in ohio, what "monroe shoes" were was a mystery—not a shoemaker in my section having so much as an inkling of the construction of the perplexing things, until finally my eldest brother brought an idea of them from baltimore, when it was found that they were a familiar pattern under another name. a. research essay b. persuasive essay c. biography d. memoir
