johan is listening to his principal deliver a speech about the importance of physical education in school. johan is planning to write an argumentative essay on the topic. after the speech, johan should first begin to formulate his thesis. review and clarify his notes. file his notes and read them later. decide what kind of shorthand to use.

the narrator is a first person, participant one, who describes in the simple past tense important and difficult events in his earlier life. he also provides temporal markers as the month (january) and the time (12: 30 pm). finally the account of his experience is very detailed, to the extent that a participant narrator would talk the same way about his experiences. a good example of such detail is the mention of the “bovril ration” which historically was a native american food adopted by european explorers in arctic and antarctic regions due to its high level of calories.

i would need to know the specific part of the passage your referring to ?
