Thinking back to that presentation in the library makes me smile. What started out as three high school boys skipping class turn

ed 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.

One of the best ways to write and structure an outline which you are using is:

  • Write out the thesis/topic statement.
  • List out what you want to discuss.
  • Make your points.
  • Give supporting details.
  • Conclusion.

<h3>What is an Outline?</h3>

This refers to the organization of lists in a hierarchical format so that it can be easier to plan or view the things which needs to be done.

With this in mind, we can see that if you are writing a three body paragraph essay, it is important that you write the topic sentence which would help you use a theme and also the supporting details which would help you to validate your claim.

The complications that Mr.Kraler brings to members of the Annex. How does this connect back to Act 1
postnew [5]

Hello. You did not inform what work this question refers to, but through the context of the question and the name of the character, we can consider that you are referring to the theater play "Anne Frank" that reproduces Anne Frank's account of the time that she went into hiding with her family before being deported to a Nazi concentration camp.

Although Anne and her entire family had been in hiding for three years, they had Austrian friends who helped them have supplies necessary for food and hygiene. One of those friends was Mr. Kraler. However, one day he brought a news that caused concern to all the residents of the hideout, which was called a secret annex that was in a commercial building. Mr. Kraler claimed that a warehouse worker could have discovered the Frank family's hiding place and was blackmailing Mr. Kraler so that he would not divulge what he knew. This worried the Franks a lot and is connected to Act 1, as it shows that all the care and preparation of the family to not be discovered, in Act 1, may have been in vain.

What is the difference between “lay” and “lie”?
sergeinik [125]
These are two different verbs: one means: to be positioned horizontally (lie) and the other to position something else horizontally, to put something down (lay)

They sound similar and have a meaning connected to being horizontal, that's one reason for their confusion.

Make sure you also don't confuse their past tenses:

Lay: laid

lie: lay

Yes, Lay is the present tense of one of them and the past of the other: that's the other reason for their confusion!
