A Boy with Dreams

by A. Gautam

Willy waited every night to wake up and turn into Batman.

He had the jaw that looked intimidating in a cowl,

and the perfect chin with a hint of toughness—

full lips—an embodiment of strength.

But he had the eyes of a poet—searching meaning,

and looking beyond what is seen.

When he looked at the city from his balcony,

he was learning to swim in the world—

growing up to be a man was tougher than it seemed.

He was a boy with dreams.

He wanted wings.

Which statement best describes the purpose of this passage?

• A. It's a persuasive selection on how to sleep and dream.

• B. It's an entertaining piece about a young boy's dreams.

• C. It's an instructive work on how to live and dream big.

• D. It's an informative article about a confused dreamer.
