It really depends on the person and what they think is more important -
A: You could show that the 2008 Olympics was Michael Phelps' "last hurrah" as it were, as he did not do as well in the 2012 games, BUT the paper is on the 2008 games and not Phelps himself
B: The proof of the use of steroids could be used to make a point that perhaps the security needs to be stepped up, or that in the modern world, sport is becoming too unfair as new drugs are invented because people feel the need to cheat for the cash prizes.
C: This is not really an essay topic, but perhaps you could combine it with B as a controversial point.
D:You could use this point as proof that the bar is being raised every year, and that talent is being found everywhere, better talent, even from poorer countries that you wouldn't expect. You could also tie in Jesse Owens.
Personally, I would use B as drugs is a hot topic around the world, but it is ultimately up to Jacob.
Answer:
Yes but it depends on your belief or should I say religion because if your religion has god(s), there's most likely to have prophets who get prophetic visions or dreams and such. Like the Bible for example. There is a God, and He tells the future to the people prophets. Revelation is a prophecy that has not yet fulfilled, is what some of us believe but you may have different belief.
The author converts joy in the excerpt by using irony in the situation of it being so hot they have to fan themselves then, ironically they start singing a song titled heatwave
i agree because life is hard, and there are so many journeys we have to go through, and those journeys will only be easier if we understand that not everything is perfect and going to go your way.
