Read this excerpt from The People Could Fly, have children and grandchildren now. Well, you know, the bigger ones don't care so much to hear about
those times,
But the little ones, well, they never get tired of hearin how their grandpa brought emancipation to loads of slaves he
could touch and feel in the dark but never ever see.
How does the speaker feel about his role in the Underground Railroad now that he is older?
He wishes that he had never put his family in so much danger,
He wishes he had done more to help others when he had the chance.
He feels proud that he helped so many people gain their freedom
He feels grateful that he was able to get back at the slaveholders.

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.
