Harvard, Favorite fictional character
Of all the characters that I've "met" through books and movies, two stand out as people that I most want to emulate. They are Attacus Finch from To Kill A Mockingbird and Dr. Archibald "Moonlight" Graham from Field of Dreams. They appeal to me because they embody what I strive to be. They are influential people in small towns who have a direct positive effect on those around them. I, too, plan to live in a small town after graduating from college, and that positive effect is something I must give in order to be satisfied with my life.
Both Mr. Finch and Dr. Graham are strong supporting characters in wonderful stories. They symbolize good, honesty, and wisdom. When the story of my town is written I want to symbolize those things. The base has been formed for me to live a productive, helpful life. As an Eagle Scout I represent those things that Mr. Finch and Dr. Graham represent. In the child/adolescent world I am Mr. Finch and Dr. Graham, but soon I'll be entering the adult world, a world in which I'm not yet prepared to lead.
I'm quite sure that as teenagers Attacus Finch and Moonlight Graham often wondered what they could do to help others. They probably emulated someone who they had seen live a successful life. They saw someone like my grandfather, 40-year president of our hometown bank, enjoy a lifetime of leading, sharing, and giving. I have seen him spend his Christmas Eves taking gifts of food and joy to indigent families. Often when his bank could not justify a loan to someone in need, my grandfather made the loan from his own pocket. He is a real-life Moonlight Graham, a man who has shown me that characters like Dr. Graham and Mr. Finch do much much more than elicit tears and smiles from readers and movie watchers. Through him and others in my family I feel I have acquired the values and the burning desire to benefit others that will form the foundation for a great life. I also feel that that foundation is not enough. I do not yet have the sophistication, knowledge, and wisdom necessary to succeed as I want to in the adult world. I feel that Harvard, above all others, can guide me toward the life of greatness that will make me the Attacus Finch of my town.
Answer: I would contend that the right answer is the B) It would emphasize to the listener how different drums and other musical instruments sounded like in the past.
Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that option D should be discarded, since it is clearly irrelevant, particularly because the slit drum from Central Africa cannot be compared to a modern musical instrument, and the goal is not to help the listener replicate the sound, but experience it. In addition, option A can also be discarded, since an audio version should enhance the listener's experience while he or she is in front of the object, not announce what he or she will experience next. Finally, since the excerpt does not mention anything about the emotions that people in the past —the powerful chief and his retinue—felt while listening to the drums, I believe that the audio version is not primarily meant to elicit the same emotions in the listener. The audio version would, therefore, stress how different musical instruments sounded like in the past, since the label is specifically describing how the design of the drum had the potential to produce various tones and pitches.
The answer is C because the other options are like opinions and C is a fact not an opinion.
