1. What was Aristotle?
2. Jesse Owens Jesse Owens was an Olympic legend, born in Alabama on September 12, 1913. When he was born, his parents named him James Cleveland, or "J.C." When he was nine years old, he moved to Cleveland with his family. One day, in school, his teacher mistakenly wrote down his name as "Jesse" instead of "J.C.", and he was known as Jesse Owens since then. Owens showed great promise as an athlete right from the time he was in school. He won many races and medals, setting new records in the process. For instance, in his senior year, Owens set a new world record in the 220 yard dash, completing the dash in just 20.2 seconds. It almost seemed like he was wearing Hermes's winged sandals! Impressed by his track record, many colleges wanted to recruit him after he completed high school. Owens ultimately chose to attend Ohio State University. To pay his way through college, and to support himself and his wife, Owens took up a number of jobs. Some of these included working as an elevator operator, a page, and a waiter. Owens's biggest claim to fame was his participation in the 1936 Olympics in Germany. He became the first American to win four gold medals at the Olympics. Owens's outstanding record remained unbeaten until 1984, when it was finally matched by Carl Lewis at the Olympic Games in Los Angeles. Even after his stint at the Olympics, Owens continued to work a number of jobs to support his family. One such job was working with the underprivileged youth of his community. He traveled far and wide as a motivational speaker, sharing his wisdom and inspiring people. Jesse Owens's achievements are remembered even today. Like the tale of David and Goliath, Owens's story also serves as an inspiration to many, proving that anyone can dream big and turn his or her dreams into reality.Which sentence from this passage is an example of an allusion?
