Keelan is writing a personal narrative about a recent experience. Read the draft and answer the questions.

"Keelan had been rehearsing his lines and practicing his solo for weeks, but that didn’t stop the butterflies from performing their own dance number in his stomach. Tonight’s opening show, Keelan’s debut performance, could make him or break him. Keelan had been dreaming of stardom his whole life. Football had been a disaster; so had basketball and soccer. But when he stepped onto the stage for the first time, Keelan had come alive. He was born for the spotlight―a singing, dancing phenom. The auditorium was quickly filling with parents and grandparents, teachers and classmates. The house lights began to dim, prompting a hush from the crowd. “Places everyone!” the director called. Taking a deep breath, Keelan hurried to his spot―center stage. The curtain opened just in time."
