Read the excerpt from "escape." i must take this test just like everyone takes tests i am closing in on the sky hoping it will try to escape and i know i will let it get away like i let a lot of things get away the repetition of the word “test” and the phrase “get away” emphasize how challenging it is for other people to live in this world. how the important moments in life pass too quickly. how important it is for the speaker to escape reality. how difficult it is for the speaker to figure herself out.
