Read the excerpt below from Chris Jacobs' reflective essay called "Everlasting Wannabe." As you read, think about his analogy an

d how it helps get his point across.
Much like the Gobstopper, I resorted to changing my color as time went by. In my red phase, I briefly joined a dodgeball league. When I was orange, I played Dungeons & Dragons and collected Magic: The Gathering. Yellow was all about doing thankless crew work in the school's small theater group, and green played out in endless rewinds of Smashing Pumpkins tapes, including a Nine Inch Nails concert where I got bit in the arm for blocking someone else's view. Blue was spent in horror-movie marathons with two girls who secretly hated each other, and the people that I ran with while purple have sworn me to a secrecy I will never betray.

What point does the analogy of the Gobstoppers help the writer make?

The Gobstoppers show how sweet-natured the writer is.

They indicate that much like Gobstoppers, change can cause you to be unhealthy.

The Gobstoppers show how candy can be used to persuade others to like you.

They indicate that much like his favorite candy, he changed colors very easily.

Write a narrative essay about overcoming a challenge, and what you learned as a result.
Grace [21]

Answer:

OVERCOMING A CHALLENGE AND WHAT I LEARNED

Last week, there was a fire at home which was caused by an electrical spark.

Within minutes, there was thick smoke and a fire which had already consumed some chairs, I was alone with my four-year-old brother so I panicked and started looking for him and in my panic, I completely forgot where his room was, fortunately I heard his cry and located him, then took him out of the house and called the fire department.

It was a scary moment for both of us, and I'm grateful that the fire did not cause an explosion and the fire was contained by the firefighters as soon as they arrived.

I learned that I need to stay calm especially in situations like that because it takes a cool head to think clearly and rationally. My panic caused delay in finding my brother which made him inhale poisonous smoke and required hospitalization.

The following question is based on your reading of “Life is a Dream.” Read the following passage, then answer the questions that
konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

(A) Men had a stronger claim to titles and wealth during the Renaissance

Explanation:

The excerpt above is taken from a Spanish play, entitled “Life is a Dream”, written by Pedro Calderón de la Barca. The play tells the story of a prince (Segismundo) who was imprisoned by his own father (King Basilio) due to a prophecy, predicting that the prince would cause havoc to Poland, the country the king led.

The dialogue above is said by Astolfo, the Duke of Muscovy, to his cousin (one who he is going to marry), Estrella, describing how because Astolfo is a man, he is the one expected to inherit the throne, even though he is the son of the younger sister of the king, while Estrella is the daughter of the older sister.

I will mark Brainliest. Worth 50 points!!
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

The story "Mami and Papi". has many elements that prove that it is a personal narrative, some of those elements are:

*The use of the first person during the story.

*The character descriptions from the point of view of the narrator.

*The use of dialogue to develop the story

Explanation:

The use of the first person in any of its variants is a clear element of personal narrative since this kind of writing follows the events as the narrator, who happens to be the author, lived them. As the events occur the narrator/author includes their dialogues with the characters as they resemble them as they help to describe the characters in the story.
