1: You're such a nerd.
2: I prefer the term "Intellectual Badass."
False. It wouldn't appeal to the reader's feeling but the senses.
Quite similarly, ever since I was a young kid I used to dream about going to London, it was my life goal you could say.
It seemed quite impossible as I come from a working class family however I decided to work during college in order to save every pennie and book a flight to the UK.
I was finally able to do it, I was one flight away from seeing London for the first time ever, I could not have been more excited.
Once I got there, for the first time in my life I knew how dissapointment felt like. It was nothing like I imagined, it was exactly how no one ever described it to me: crowded, dirty and ordinary.
I learned to love its streets and its people but frankly I'd only return if it was for free.
Hope this helps :)
Answer: Choice C)
He wishes for the reader to have an emotional response to the people or events.
===================================================
Explanation:
- Choice A is false because the events or people are real.
- Choice B is true (the people and events are real), but it's not the reason why the writer would go for a poem. The writer could go for an essay if all they wanted to do was talk about the person or event.
- Choice C is true and it's the answer. Poems provide an emotional response of some kind which allows people to connect better. This in turn allows people to remember the poem better, or remember the person/events better.
- Choice D is false because choice A is false.
When I was a teenager I dreamed of winning a computer of the highest technology. I was passionate about technology and I loved seeing all the configurations of the launchings of the big industries. As my family couldn't afford this type of device, I decided to find a part-time job that would allow me to save money and buy the device I wanted.
The job I found was to be the mascot of a fast food restaurant in my city. I would have to wear a costume, which attracted some boys who were studying with me who went to my job just to laugh at my situation. Despite the shame I was not discouraged because my goal was greater than all of that.
My salary was extremely low and I couldn't get enough money for the computer I wanted, so I bought a used computer that was in a bad state, which made my school friends laugh even more at me, form nicknames and let me even more ashamed and with low self-esteem.
I was very discouraged, but decided to occupy my mind not to think about frustration, so I decided to renovate and repair the computer that I bought, I felt very good doing it and I managed to make it work efficiently. I started to fix other things and take courses on electronics that made my skills even better.
High school was pretty torturous because of the jokes about me, but eventually it ended and I got a place at the university of my study, where I majored in electronic engineering. Over time and a lot of dedication I got a job in the computer industry that I wanted so much in my teens and now I not only have access to all of them, but also participate in the elaboration and manufacture of each one. Nowadays I laugh at the jokes that my friends told me, I don't know what the future has in store for them, but for me it has a lot of success.
