HELP ME OUT PLEASE!!!!!!!!
Now consider both "Stories Saved My Life" and "How You See Yourself" as you answer the remaining test questions. Read paragraph 8 of "Stories Saved My Life." "This was my identity I was given. I was a poor Native American boy with no dad and oh, yeah, there was also something wrong with my brain. That's who I was to people on the outside, but that's not who I ever was. Not really. I was different, yes, but I didn't yet know that didn't mean I was un-teachable." Now read paragraph 9 of "How You See Yourself!" "Have you ever watched a talent show like American Idol or America's Got Talent? Typically, in the first few episodes, there are quite a few people who seem to be convinced they are incredible singe or performers when in fact they are quite obviously awful. These moments can be funny because it may seem as if these people are just having fun on TV. But these moments can also be sad, as some of these people seem to be totally 'clueless and believe they are incredible singers. Here is the second type of self-image problem. Some people have a really big gap between their self-image and their actual self." What is the purpose of BOTH of these paragraphs? -
A) To illustrate how ridiculous people on reality television can be.
B) To point out that gaps often exist between who we really are and how we and others see ourselves.
C) To highlight how self-image is always negative.
D) To explain that feeling different means you have a negative self-image.
