Thinking back to that presentation in the library makes me smile. What started out as three high school boys skipping class turned out to be the most significant event in our lives. If we had made it to the gym that day instead of the library, more than likely the streets would have swallowed us in the next few years. We never would have become doctors. Every­thing we needed to start on the road to success was included in one forty-five-minute presentation. And we almost missed it.

This was the first time that a path to my dreams was shown to me. Deep inside, I knew I could accomplish anything if given the chance. I just didn't know how to find that opportunity. That presentation showed me the possibility of reaching goals I had only dared to dream about. I think if a person dreams hard enough, sometimes a door will open to make that dream come true. Of course, it helps to be prepared to go through the door when the opportunity arises. We almost missed it.

We also had no idea that day that we were forming a pact that would last a lifetime. We just knew that somehow each of us individually might fail, but the strength of the three of us together just might be enough to succeed.

—We Beat the Street,
Sampson Davis et al

Based on the central ideas and details from the passage, write one to three sentences summarizing how the three friends changed and stayed the same after seeing the presentation.

Answers

Answer 1

The three friends used to be 'bad boys'. They believed that they could do many things. After seeing the presentation, they believed that they could accomplish really anything.

Answers

I think the answer is C. Nobody ever gives me a second look.

Sentence from the passage is an example of hyperbole is Nobody ever gives me a second look. Option (c) is correct.

What do you mean by Fantasy?

Fantasy is the capability or process of conjuring up highly impossible or unrealistic mental pictures in response to psychological needs

Exaggeration used as a rhetorical tool or figure of speech is known as hyperbole. Auxesis is another name for it in rhetoric. It accentuates, arouses strong emotions, and leaves a lasting impact in poetry and oratory. It is typically not meant to be taken literally because it is a figure of speech.

While metaphors occasionally utilize exaggeration, hyperbole usually does. "His words were music to my ears," is a metaphor. Words and music are compared by the speaker.

As a result, Option (c) is correct. Sentence from the passage is an example of hyperbole is Nobody ever gives me a second look.

Here's my review, the beginning section feels like an attack on white people.

A lot of the language used feels too simple, too repetitious, and I'm not saying use words like "unequivocally," but try to spice up the writing. I agree with a lot of the things that have been typed, such as we are discriminated more against by a whole lot and there's statistics for this and I think you should include some just to hammer the point home.
