Question #3: What does the text mean? (Central Idea/Support/Believe)

Motivational Video of Nick —no limb ** s ** ||

Written by a student in Mr. L's class

The central idea of the video is that no matter how many times you fail, you should never give up. This idea is supported by Nick showing people that even without limbs, when he falls down, he will figure out a way to get up. The author wants me to know that if Nick can get up and keep smiling even with his physical disabilities, than I should be able to do anything.

Written by a student in Ms. C's class

The central idea of the video is that giving up is not an option. Motivation is the key because what matters is how you finish. This theme is supported by Nick, a man with no legs or arms. Yet he shows us how he can get up when he falls because he never gives up. Nick’s message to me is to believe that anything is possible and to never give up. I can do anything if I just work on motivating myself.
