Distinguish Points of View in a Story - Quiz - Level Question 8
Read the paragraphs. How has Ruthie's point of view changed by the
end of the story?
- She now thinks her dad does not
like flowers.
He's trying to think up something nice to say, I thought. But
when Dad finally looked up at us, I had to look down
because he had tears in his eyes. "This is the best plant I've
ever had," he said, "You know why?"
We shook our heads.
She now thinks Spencer chose a
good plant
"With this plant," he said, "you can't see what's keeping it
strong. When I was off fighting, there was only one thing
keeping me strong, and you couldn't see that either. Know
what it was?"
She now thinks Spencer is a
perfect brother
He gave us a teasing grin that made us giggle. Then he
pulled us into a big bear hug. "It was how much I love you
guys," he said.
We stayed hugging for a long time, and I didn't even mind
being smooshed up against Spencer.
She now thinks her dad likes
Spencer better than her.

Read the excerpts from “take the tortillas out of your poetry” and “speaking arabic.” my friend had concluded that if he took his language and culture out of his poetry, he stood a better chance of receiving a fellowship. he took out his native language, the poetic patois of our reality, the rich mixture of spanish, english, pachuco and street talk which we know so well. in other words, he took the tortillas out of his poetry, which is to say he took the soul out of his poetry. at a neighborhood fair in texas, somewhere between the german oom-pah sausage stand and the mexican gorditas booth, i overheard a young man say to his friend, “i wish i had a heritage. sometimes i feel—so lonely for one.” and the tall american trees were dangling their thick branches right down over his head. which best states how the structures of both excerpts support ideas about cultural diversity? each incorporates non-english words. each incorporates academic words. each incorporates offensive words. each incorporates nonsense words.
