Given the theme "Something good can come from not
getting what you want," which evidence provides the
best support?
And it occurs to me, watching how smoothly he climbs
hand over hand and remembering how he looked running
with his arms down to his side and with the wind pulling
his mouth back and his teeth showing and all, it occurred
to me that Raymond would make a very fine runner.
Doesn't he always keep up with me on my trots? And he
surely knows how to breathe in counts of seven 'cause
he's always doing it at the dinner table And I'm
smiling to beat the band 'cause if I've lost this race, or if
me and Gretchen tied, or even if I've won, I can always
retire as a runner and begin a whole new career
coach with Raymond as my champion.
watching how smoothly he climbs hand over hand"
"Raymond would make a very fine runner."
"Doesn't he always keep up with me on my trots?"

Raymond as my champion."
) Intro

Read the passage first of all if someone says your dream is impossible, they’re wrong. you can’t prove that something is impossible-all you know is that[it] hasn’t been done yet. people said no one could scale mount everest but in 1953, sir edmund hilary and tenzing norway gazed down upon the world from it’s summit. people said that man could not fly, but in 1903, orville and wilbur wright made the first sustained powered flight in a heavier-than-air machine. people said, “okay, we admit that someone could climb mount everest, and we admit that man has learned to fly, but no one will ever, ever walk on the face of the moon.” if we can send three men a quarter of a million miles away and bring them home safely, is there any great task we cannot accomplish? which identifies the textual evidence that best supports the claim: the authors purpose is to persuade? a: the author shares historical information about the wright brothers. b: the author states that men have walked the moon. c: the author states that others who think your dreams are impossible are wrong. d: the author wants to know what tasks we cannot accomplish.
