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.

Story that end with the statement i had never felt so embarrassed in my life
Andreyy89

Answer and Explanation:

Have you ever being in a situation where you tried to do something you always excelled in previously but all of a sudden you just flopped?

This was my story on this day. As a child I was a pretty good dancer and everyone around loved watching me dance. Well, I was till my friends in high school made me enter into a dancing competition.

The music was good, the crowd was friendly to an extent but when I got to the stage all I could do was to sway from side to side. My friends kept on cheering me on. But I couldn't just help it. I eventually stopped trying when one of the judges asked me to get off the stage, that I had no business coming for the contest.

I felt like I had wasted everybody's time so while walking out of the building I had my eyes on the flow with my head bowed. I had never felt so embarrassed in my life.
