Read the two passages.Excerpt 1My teacher asked if she could see me after school. I waited in suspense as the other students shuffled out of the classroom when the bell rang. I wondered why she wanted to talk to me. I never got into trouble at school, so I wasn’t worried that it was something bad. My mind shifted to the composition assignment that I’d done. She had mentioned that the best stories would be published in the local paper. "Could mine have been chosen?” I thought in disbelief.Excerpt 2I went to my room as soon as I got home. I threw myself down on the bed and let the tears flow freely. I had failed the composition assignment so badly that I was in danger of having to make up the class in summer school. My teacher had given me the weekend to redo the assignment on a new topic, and I had no idea what to write about. When my father came to check on me, I pretended that I had already fallen asleep.
