Getting the phone call:
when i finally got the phone call from the producers of the reality tv show "the coolest kid in school" telling me i had been accepted as a part of the show's final cast, you’d think that my mom would’ve been happy about it—even proud. i’d shown more initiative in applying for the show than i’d ever shown in trying to improve my grade point average: i’d made an awesome audition tape, filled out a huge 15 page application (including four and done five different stressful interviews before a panel of producers in order to make the final cut. the phone call informing me that i was on the show was a dream come true for me. but for my mom? no way. she immediately changed her tune from supporting my dream of starring on a reality tv show to doing nothing but questioning it. it’s not so much that she’s opposed to this reality show (focusing on pitting teenagers against one another in a televised popularity contest), it’s all reality shows that she thinks are, in her words, “hate-filled, degrading, and wicked.” she could not be more wrong, though.

ii. my mom is over-reacting:
let’s just face it. people who hate reality shows are really just old, humorless sourpusses. these are people whose last favorite tv show was something produced 40 years ago in black-and-white. they want tv shows to look like what they want reality to look like and not look like what it actually is. in old tv shows, the good guys always win and morality prevails. but reality is not like that—and thus reality shows aren’t either.
what could the author add to support his argument in the last sentence of paragraph 2?
a) take out the claim that reality shows are extremely popular.
b) take out his description of all he did to get on the reality show
c) add an example of an unhappy event occurring on a show, just as it would in real life
d) add a sentence describing his father’s reaction to his future reality show experience.

In at least 150 words, discuss the comparison described in the figurative language and how the connotative language reinforces the symbol. certainly the utmost rim of my first dome was filled with the tumultuous impression of soldiers marching to death for freedom's sake, of pioneers streaming westward to establish self-government in yet another sovereign state. only the great dome of st. peter's itself has ever clutched my heart as did that modest curve which had sequestered from infinitude in a place small enough for my child's mind, the courage and endurance which i could not comprehend so long as it was lost in "the void of unresponsible space" under the vaulting sky itself.
