Milestone's review-theme, POV, citing evidence

Read the following paragraphs.

I always enjoy going to Holiday World located in Santa Claus, Indiana, with my family. This will be my third time going to this amusement park. The one ride I have on my mind, the Raven, is the oldest wooden roller coaster in the United States. During my previous visits to the park, I was too fearful to ride this amazing roller coaster. Today, I plan to conquer the Raven. Holiday World is easy to navigate. Each section of the park is designed around a different holiday theme. The Raven is located in the Halloween section. This section is known to have the coolest and scariest rides found in the park. As I enter the park, I plan to bypass all other sections and head straight to the Raven.

I sat smiling pleasantly at my fellow dinner guests. What I was thinking was not displayed on my face. I wondered, "Why have I been placed next to this woman who has nothing of interest to say to me?" In desperation, I turned to the person on my other side. I smiled pleasantly at the guest and thought, "Whoa, this gentleman has the manners of a goat. He must have been raised in a barn."

The birds were chirping and the sun was shining. Kevin and Juno were sitting on a park bench together. Neither of them was smiling. After a long period of silence, Kevin said, "This isn't going to work. I mean, you're a dog person and I'm a cat person." Juno nodded. A tear rolled down her face. Kevin went on, "If we got married and bought a house, what kind of pet would we get? Some kind of cat-dog? Somebody's going to be unhappy." Juno began sobbing and said, "Ok, let's just end it now. Have fun with your slobbery dogs." She jumped off the bench and ran into the woods.

If you are confused about something in class, don't wait. Raise your hand and ask for help immediately. Do it while your teacher is still explaining the material. Your teacher will probably be happy that you are taking an active part in your education and should attempt to explain the material in a different way. If you are still confused, ask your teacher if he or she is available after class to give you additional instruction. You are worth it. Don't give up on yourself.

Jeremiah squinted from the sun. He was thinking about the game. They could have won. He could have won the game for them. All he needed to do was catch the ball, but he didn't. He dropped it. His coach talked to him. "Jeremiah, we had a great season. Nobody's perfect. Look at me. Ha ha," he said. Jeremiah smiled at the coach, but he couldn't forgive himself so easily.

The parade marched down the street. It was led by a caped drummer. He set a stately pace and tapped the accompanying rhythm. A marching band followed behind him, matching his pace. Behind the band were floats of all sizes and designs. Children and adults were riding on the floats, tossing out penny candies, streamers, and plastic prizes. The street was lined with people. The noises of revelry filled the streets.
