Me with two questions.
1. tony is hoping to be selected for the all-county basketball team. he sets the following goal for himself:
i want to improve my free throw percentage by four points over the next six weeks, from 70% to 74%, so i can try out for the all-county basketball team.
which statement best describes tony's goal?
tony's goal is effective because it is measurable, attainable, and has a clear deadline.
tony's goal is ineffective and unrealistic because it does not explain what he is going to do to improve his time or the amount of times he will have to time himself.
tony's goal is effective and realistic because it shows that he is going to practice hard because improving his time is important to him.
tony's goal is ineffective and unrealistic because he does not have enough experience to make the all-county team.
2. you by mehret asgedom
just what would you say
if i could throw my thoughts away?
yep, just like that. gone.
i'd like to toss them into the sea, you see—
to fling them far away from me.
not all, of course, that wouldn't do.
just the ones that are about you.
in this poem, mehret asgedom
makes her feeling seem unrealistic by exaggerating them through the use of figurative language
uses a simple rhyme scheme that gives a light quality to painful feelings
shows that she has forgiven the subject of the poem using a direct address
invites readers to understand why she would like to throw her thoughts away
