Answer:
After reading the excerpt from Enrique’s Journey, it is noticed that the underlined phrases support the author’s purpose when they show that the worst part of the train ride may be over. So, the third option is the right answer.
Explanation:
This excerpt talks about the change of scenery when Enrique's train approaches a town. Enrique watches the men tending the corn, the women working in the kitchens, cowboys smiling and riding past the train, and fieldworkers working happily. There is also a change in the natural atmosphere. It changes into something peaceful. Mountains drawing closer, green fields and butterflies fluttering at the end of the journey. All these positive pointers make us hopeful that the worst part of the ride is over and now there would be better things coming in.
I met Sarah in a Uber and she was my driver to St.Petersburg. I felt really anxious talking to her after all she’s just another stranger. She has dark black hair, a smile that brightens the night. I asked her how long she has been an Uber for as a conversation starter. She then said:”I only started about a week ago. It’s been really tough lately for me and my roommate on campus.” I felt quite bad for her. She works two minimum wage jobs and on top of that she works as a Uber. As soon we arrived at my grandmas apartment I gave her a tip of $20. She thanked me and said that it’s going to help her tonight. Right when I was about to leave the car, I forgot something: her phone number. I ran back to the car and asked her. I woke up realizing it was all a dream. I took my medicine and went to the kitchen for breakfast. I turned on the tv and the news came on as usually at 7 in the morning. There was a hostage situation in a Uber at 6:30. The news paper came in.
The headline for today was:”After all this, I realized that I owed it all to her” those were the last words of a emotionally disturbed man after taking his life on camera.
You could write a sketch for a story about say, a a homeless kid who wants to be like the rich kid he meets because of his shoes but when they switch body's he becomes paralyzed like the rich boy was. Will that work for you? I hope it helped
