Read the opening paragraph of "After Twenty Years” by O. Henry.

The policeman on the beat moved up the avenue impressively. The impressiveness was habitual and not for show, for spectators were few. The time was barely 10 o'clock at night, but chilly gusts of wind with a taste of rain in them had well nigh de-peopled the streets.

Trying doors as he went, twirling his club with many intricate and artful movements, turning now and then to cast his watchful eye adown the pacific thoroughfare, the officer, with his stalwart form and slight swagger, made a fine picture of a guardian of the peace. The vicinity was one that kept early hours. Now and then you might see the lights of a cigar store or of an all-night lunch counter; but the majority of the doors belonged to business places that had long since been closed.

Hey, so I have to write a poem and idk if its good or not, can yall let me know what you think please?

when instead of crying myself to sleep, i would fall asleep with a smile on my face
when the only reason for wearing long sleeves was because it was cold
when smiles were genuine, not something forced so nobody would ask even though they don't really care
when the only "fake" friends i had were imaginary
when the only thing i had to worry about was the next show to watch on tv
when i could do whatever i wanted and not have to worry about being judged
when "butt" was the only bad word i knew
those days when life was perfect
when we could sit and laugh all day everyday
when the only reason to cry was because i wasn't allowed to have any more candy
bring me back to the days where people were nice to everyone
when i wasn't told to ki.ll myself everyday
when i could eat whatever i wanted without worrying about getting "fat"
when i loved myself
when being alive was the only option
when su!cide wasn't a thing
when wrists were for washable markers not blades
when eating was normal

cool air." He also noticed white people eating at the counter at J. J. Newberry's Department Store. "More than

and other blacks had to eat in the basement standing up.

Scholars have been able to piece together William Shakespeare’s likely biography from sources like official records, his will, his marriage certificate and his tombstone. Shakespeare was likely born on April 23, 1564 in Stratford-upon-Avon, England. He probably attended a free school, where he studied Latin plays. At 18, Shakespeare married Anne Hathaway, and they went on to have three children, one of whom died of black plague. For several years after the birth of his children, Shakespeare disappeared from all records. Scholars call these his “Lost Years.” Records then show that by 1594, Shakespeare was an established actor and writer in London with his popular company, The Lord Chamberlain’s Men. He’d hold these positions for 20 years. Shakespeare is thought to have died on April 23, 1616—his likely birthday—at age 52.
What is the main purpose of this passage?

A
to recount key events in William Shakespeare’s life

B
to provide a theory about what happened during William Shakespeare’s “Lost Years”

C
to explain where William Shakespeare got the ideas for his plays

D
to describe William Shakespeare’s work with The Lord Chamberlain’s Men
