adapted excerpt from Fierce

by Aly Raisman


My mom would eventually get tired of yet another screening of a US

Championships or an invitational, but I couldn't get enough. When!

wasn't doing homework or at gymnastics practice, I was parked in front

of the TV, watching one of those tapes.

One day I want to be just like them, I thought, enchanted by the figures

flying across the screen. I had already decided that I would be a gymnast

when I grew up. Well, either that or a pop star, like Britney Spears, my

favorite singer. That sounded good, too.

As they lined up, the faces of the seven US team

members---Amanda Borden, Amy Chow, Dominique Dawes,

Shannon Miller, Dominique Moceanu, Jaycie Phelps, and Kerri

Strug--projected concentration, confidence, and strength. In their

American flag leotards, they were my Supergirls. All they were missing

were capes.

Answer:The underlined phrase has a figurative  meaning, which creates an inspired voice.

When something is said to be figurative, it means that metaphorical terms are being used to describe it such that it is easier to understand. The description is therefore not literal. In calling the gymnasts "supergirls", the speaker does not mean that they have super powers but that they are doing great things like a super hero would.

This is said in an inspired voice because the speaker wishes to be like them someday.
