PERFORMANCE TASK
Chasing Success
“If your success is not on your own terms, if it looks good to the world but does not feel good in your heart, it is not success at all.” - Anna Quindlen
This collection focuses on the price some people are willing to pay to fulfill their ambitions.
For this performance task you will read/review “Marita’s Bargain” (anchor text), “A Right to Choose Single-Sex Education” (a new text in the Close Reader), and one previously read text of your choice from this collection to write an essay that compares and contrasts the sacrifices made …show more content…
This brought her more success in her life than she ever needed. She let go of her childhood to gain the knowledge and success. She used her time to do schoolwork and did not have anytime to play around with the friends she had, but she did not complain about all the work she had to do. This one sacrifice might but her life in a better place. She might not be in the poverty group and might have got accepted into a better high school. These sacrifices that these two characters make, makes their lives so much better and easier for them. These successes can be gained by anyone and there might be obstacles that get in the way but you have to pass through them. Santiago went through a lot, such as losing his sheeps, working as a merchant, finding the alchemist and much more. Marita used her courage and bravery to sign the paper and following what she signed up for.
In Conclusion, people need to follow their hearts to find their dream. Sacrifices that people make can to follow their dreams can really benefit them in the future. Santiago and Martia followed their path to success and they accomplished it very well. You should always have a goal in mind which you want to reach. No matter the size follow the dream and make life worth it. People like the baker and the merchant in ¨The Alchemist¨ will always just dream and will never be able to touch that
