What can you infer about the narrator's relationship with "Baba"? a. They have a strange, but mostly warm and loving relationship b. They appear to be disjointed and cold, even when the child desires a more loving relationship c. They have a strictly professional relationship d. They seem to have great respect for one another, yet they continually dwell on their anger over differing

The correct answer is B) They appear to be disjointed and cold, even when the child desires a more loving relationship.

What I can infer about the narrator's relationship with "Baba" is that they appear to be disjointed and cold, even when the child desires a more loving relationship.

This is so because when the narrator asked Baba if he could seat with him, Baba answered that no, that it was the time for "grown-ups," and the narrator had to sit alone and read one of his books, as Baba had asked him to do.  So we infer that the relationship between them was cold and Baba never had time for the narrator, although the boy wanted a closer relationship.

Even in the photographs that, the narrator describes in the text, Baba is holding him, -a baby, at the time- but Babas' face was tired and grim.

This text was part of the story titled "The Kite Runner."

what are the excerpts?

in a place once known as north america, now known as panem, is a very rich city surrounded by twelve districts. every year because this very rich city, known as the capitol, is so rich and likes to think they control all the districts - which they do - there is something known as the hunger games! this is where two children, one boy and one girl from each district from the ages of twelve to eighteen, have to leave their families and compete in the hunger games, a live event that is aired on tv's all over panem. when katniss everdeen, aged sixteen from district 12, has to volunteer to take the place of her twelve-year-old sister prim after prim's name is called forth to become the 23rd member to compete in the 74th hunger games, she promises to prim that she will win! katniss doesn't believe she's coming out alive - but she's not going down without a fight.

because district 12 is so poor, katniss has been close to death many times from starvation but she's made it through it. but this is a different kind of close to death; this katniss doesn't know if she can survive.

she doesn't want to hurt, or kill anyone but when it comes down to it katniss' instinct is to survive. but when she starts to have confusing feelings about the boy from her district who is also her fellow contender, things get worse, and then she teams up with the girl from district 11 and only one person can survive. but who will it be? will her feelings get the better of her? will she let someone else win so they don't have to die? if katniss is going to win she's going to have to be brutal. she's going to have to kill!
