Excerpt from a night to remember
florence wilmington

it was a night to remember. marian anderson was one my favorite singers. her rendition of the song “were you there” ran through my head as we walked toward the metropolitan opera house. of course, i listened to the radio when she sang at the lincoln memorial in ’39, and hearing her sing “my country ‘tis of thee” brought a tear to my eye. i couldn’t imagine what emotions marian’s voice would stir in me during a live performance. it was january 7, 1955, and my husband and i were going to see the first african american sing at the metropolitan opera.

for which narrative writing topic would the excerpted paragraph be most appropriate?
a) describe your best vacation ever.
b) describe the best opera performance you have seen.
c) describe your most memorable, meaningful experience.
d) describe how someone has dramatically changed your life.

Ead the passage from "marriage is a private affair” by chinua achebe. "i shall never see her,” was the reply. from that night the father scarcely spoke to his son. he did not, however, cease hoping that he would realize how serious was the danger he was heading for. day and night he put him in his prayers. nnaemeka, for his own part, was very deeply affected by his father’s grief. but he kept hoping that it would pass away. if it had occurred to him that never in the history of his people had a man married a woman who spoke a different tongue, he might have been less optimistic. "it has never been heard,” was the verdict of an old man speaking a few weeks later. in that short sentence he spoke for all of his people. this man had come with others to commiserate with okeke when news went round about his son’s behaviour. by that time the son had gone back to lagos. "it has never been heard,” said the old man again with a sad shake of his head. "what did our lord say? ” asked another gentleman. "sons shall rise against their fathers; it is there in the holy book.” "it is the beginning of the end,” said another. how does this passage reinforce the traditional social hierarchy? the older men in the village tell okeke that he should respect nnaemeka’s decision. the older men in the village console nnaemeka about okeke’s attitude toward his choices. the older men in the village commiserate with okeke regarding nnaemeka’s decision to disobey him. the older men in the village think that nnaemeka should be optimistic that okeke will accept his decision.
