Read the following excerpt from Chris Jacobs' reflective narrative "Everlasting Wannabe." As you read, consider whether this is an example of reflection or documentation of an event. I nearly dropped my Gobstoppers. In six weeks at this new school, no one but my teacher had ever addressed me when it wasn't absolutely necessary. He had to speak again – "Yeah, you!" – before I actually started toward him. The slide was at the far end of an elaborate, fortress-like structure with a suspension bridge, a jungle gym, a sliding pole, and monkey bars. Though it was my first time getting close to it, I had spent most recesses since joining this new school admiring it from afar. The chunky blue slide was topped by a wooden hutch big enough for three or four kids to inhabit.

Read the passage first of all if someone says your dream is impossible, they’re wrong. you can’t prove that something is impossible-all you know is that[it] hasn’t been done yet. people said no one could scale mount everest but in 1953, sir edmund hilary and tenzing norway gazed down upon the world from it’s summit. people said that man could not fly, but in 1903, orville and wilbur wright made the first sustained powered flight in a heavier-than-air machine. people said, “okay, we admit that someone could climb mount everest, and we admit that man has learned to fly, but no one will ever, ever walk on the face of the moon.” if we can send three men a quarter of a million miles away and bring them home safely, is there any great task we cannot accomplish? which identifies the textual evidence that best supports the claim: the authors purpose is to persuade? a: the author shares historical information about the wright brothers. b: the author states that men have walked the moon. c: the author states that others who think your dreams are impossible are wrong. d: the author wants to know what tasks we cannot accomplish.
