The following excerpt is from “Hitting Trees with Sticks” by Jane Rogers (published in 2010). In this passage, the speaker, an o

lder woman named Celia Benson, arrives home from an outing. She has just walked by two children at play, one of whom is methodically hitting a tree with a stick. Read the passage carefully. Write a paragraph in which you make a defensible claim regarding how Rogers uses a first-person point of view to express Celia’s complex perspective.

Response:

Jane ensures that Celia's own voice is present in the dialogue and her internal conversations.

Clarification:

The initial section of the passage allows Jane Rogers to convey Celia's intricate viewpoints through her statement, "Hitting trees makes me think of the way they sometimes feed remains of animals to the same species - pigs, for example."

The narrative consistently showcases Celia's self-dialogue, reinforcing that the author employs a first person perspective, which aids readers in understanding her complex thoughts.

 The most appropriate revision of the modifier "badly" in sentence 5 is "bad": She felt bad that someone had lost such a nice watch. The term badly is an adverb, which modifies verbs and other words: badly constructed furniture; she was treated very badly. In this revised sentence, the word bad  functions as an adjective after a linking verb "felt."

hammer [7621]
<span>Crevecoeur's depiction of German-American settlers (option A) is unflattering, which contradicts his prior remarks about diversity and equality in America, and he also illustrates dire poverty alongside the significant discrepancy between the affluent and the impoverished (option D). Nevertheless, he seems to predict that society could overcome barbarism and settlers would accept civilization, "creating space for more industrious individuals". </span>
