Text A: Find examples of: Repetition - Rule of three - Alliteration
To all those who feel different, if you’re a part of a group that’s called other, a group
that does not get the chance to be centre stage, build your own stage and make
them see you. Your queerness is beautiful. Your blackness is beautiful. Your
compassion, your understanding, your fight for people who may be different from you
is beautiful. I hope you continue to go into the world and show them that you will
never stop being yourself. That it’s your time now, make them see you. Now, if
you’ve ever been called dumb, unattractive, overweight, unworthy, untalented, well,
so have I. Whatever you do, don’t let the negativity of people projecting their own self
doubts on you, deter you from your focus. I know those moments are painful and
you’re human and it hurts like hell. But now is the time to turn those criticisms into
fuel and motivation to become a beautiful beast.

To the young women, our future leaders, know that you’re about to make the world
turn. I see you. You are everything the world needs. Make those power moves, be
excellent. And to the young kings, lean into your vulnerability and redefine
masculinity, lead with heart. There are so many different ways to be brilliant. I
believe you and every human being is born with a masterful gift. Don’t let the world
make you feel that you have to look a certain way to be brilliant and no, you don’t
have to speak a certain way to be brilliant. But you do have to spread your gift
around the planet in a way that is authentically you.

Text C: Find examples of: Facts or statistics - Opinion - Repetition
Respect is everything. There’s no successful relationship without respect, nor a

successful movement if the basic principle is not respect. The world will respect you
as much as you respect yourself. I’m often asked, “What’s your secret to success?”
The shorter answer, put in that work. There may be more failures than victories. Yes,
I’ve been blessed to have 24 Grammys, but I’ve lost 46 times. That meant rejection
46 times. Please don’t ever feel entitled to win, just keep working harder. Surrender
to the cards you are dealt. It’s from that surrender that you get your power. Losing
can be the best motivator to get you even bigger wins. So never compare yourself to
anyone else. There will be wins and losses. There will be tears and laughter. You’ll
feel the shades of life deeply.
