Which of the following offers the best evidence of the author's first person narrative voice in her book the house on mango street?
a. the pronouns we, they and she are used most often in the text.
b. the author uses real characters in the plot.
c. the pronouns i, me and my are used extensively in the text.
d. the author uses setting as a character in her story.

The answer is C. The pronouns I, me, and my are used extensively in the text.

Explanation:

The question is asking what evidence best supports the first person narrative voice in her book. We are looking for FIRST PERSON NARRATIVE. First person in books usually means that books are written like this:

I have had a bad day. I accidentally spilled milk on my brother and my mother grounded me.

That is an example of first person narrative. You can tell because there are pronouns like I, my, and me. Here is another sentence.

She had a bad day. She accidentally spilled milk on her brother and her mother grounded her.

We can see here that this is not narrative. This is about someone else. Whereas the other sentence is about the narrator.

I hope this helps!

your answer would be: d) eye contact

analyzing characters

respond to the following questions in one paragraph for each. use specific examples from the text to support your responses.

1. there is a set of twins on the island named sam and eric. however, when describing them, golding regularly refers to them as samneric. how does this way of describing the twins relate to their behavior and the way that readers understand their characters? what examples of their behavior readers see that samneric is really the appropriate way to refer to them?

2. as the boys set out to search for the beast, ralph allows jack to lead the way, and he sinks to the back of the pack, " to have escaped responsibility for a time." what does this moment lead you to infer about ralph and about his feelings about being the group’s leader? what does this moment foreshadow?

3. while part of the party searching for the beast, simon realizes that the notion of the beast that the other boys have does not make sense. a beast sitting atop a mountain with claws, a beast who did not leave tracks, could have easily caught the twins. simon has a different picture of the beast: "there rose before his inward sight the picture of a human at once heroic and sick." how does this picture relate to the beast that samneric saw? how does it relate to what simon said earlier about the beast being "only us"?
