Title: The Importance of Having a Positive Attitude
Type: Short 5-paragraph expository essay
Education: 7th/8th grade
READ the information in the box below.
In the children’s book The Little Engine That Could, an engine succeeds in pulling a train over a mountain by repeating the words “I think I can.” The story is so well known and motivational that it has been used in many songs, films, speeches, and advertisements throughout popular culture.
THINK carefully about the following question. Is a positive attitude necessary for success?
WRITE an essay explaining whether a positive attitude helps a person be successful. Be sure to
• clearly state your controlling idea
• organize and develop your explanation effectively
• choose your words carefully
• use correct spelling, capitalization, punctuation, grammar, and sentences
At some point in our lives, many of us question the secret to success. Some may argue that the key to success is hard work, while others debate that it is setting goals or making plans. However, something that is often overlooked is one’s attitude. One’s attitude can not only impact the way you think, but it can also affect the way you act.
One’s self-image and attitude can drastically affect one’s life, either negatively or positively. All the events of one’s life are mirrored by one’s thoughts, beliefs, and attitudes; life is exactly how you picture it. Moreover, external factors do not determine one’s life, but our beliefs do. In fact, the greatest limitations are those we impose on ourselves; and thus, the greatest obstacle to success is a mental obstacle.
When I was younger, I was attempting to ride a bicycle for the first time. Thinking I wouldn’t be able to do it, I lost balance, fell, and tripped before I realized I could improve by changing my pessimistic attitude. Trying once more, I got up and tried riding it again. With my positive attitude, I was able to make significant improvements throughout the next few days. Not only did my positive attitude allow me to ride my bicycle, but I learned that my attitude affected my behavior.
Another instance of utilizing a positive attitude to achieve success is in the Hunger Games. The main character, Katniss, maintains a positive attitude throughout the games, despite significant hardships and losses, including the loss of a friend. By preserving her optimistic attitude, she gains enough self-confidence and motivation to ultimately survive the Hunger Games.
Ultimately, your attitude directly impacts the way you act and go about life. Whether you are a student, chef, engineer, or in any other profession, having a positive attitude can be used to increase motivation, focus, self-confidence, and self-esteem. Some may not realize it, but having a positive attitude could be the key to success.

Read the quotation from "an occurrence at owl creek bridge." and now he became conscious of a new disturbance. striking through the thought of his dear ones was a sound which he could neither ignore nor understand, a sharp, distinct, metallic percussion like the stroke of a blacksmith’s hammer upon the anvil; it had the same ringing quality. he wondered what it was, and whether immeasurably distant or near by—it seemed both. its recurrence was regular, but as slow as the tolling of a death knell. he awaited each stroke with impatience and—he knew not why—apprehension. the intervals of silence grew progressively longer, the delays became maddening. with their greater infrequency the sounds increased in strength and sharpness. they hurt his ear like the thrust of a knife; he feared he would shriek. what he heard was the ticking of his watch. which best describes the effect of the narration in the excerpt? it suggests that the man being executed feels tranquil and at peace. it suggests that the narrator is sympathetic to the man being executed. it suggests that the plot will become less tense as the story continues. it suggests that the story will become more intense and mysterious.

Read this excerpt from i never had it made. "it's all that ought to count," he replied. "but it isn't. maybe one of these days it will be all that counts. that is one of the reasons i've got you here, robinson. if you're a good enough man, we can make this a start in the right direction. but let me tell you, it's going to take an awful lot of courage." he was back to the crossroads question that made me start to get angry minutes earlier. he asked it slowly and with great care. "have you got the guts to play the game no matter what happens? " "i think i can play the game, mr. rickey," i said. the next few minutes were tough. branch rickey had to make absolutely sure that i knew what i would face. beanballs would be thrown at me. i would be called the kind of names which would hurt and infuriate any man. i would be physically attacked. could i take all of this and control my temper, remain steadfastly loyal to our ultimate aim? which is the central idea of this excerpt?
