Read the excerpt from black boy. when i awakened one morning my mother told me that we were going to see a judge who would make my father support me and my brother. an hour later all three of us were sitting in a huge crowded room. i was overwhelmed by the many faces and the voices which i could not understand. high above me was a white face which my mother told me was the face of the judge. across the huge room sat my father, smiling confidently, looking at us. my mother warned me not to be fooled by my father’s friendly manner; she told me that the judge might ask me questions, and if he did i must tell him the truth. i agreed, yet i hoped that the judge would not ask me anything. which details from the excerpt best indicates that wright was fairly young when this event takes place? wright describes his father’s “friendly manner” and demeanor. wright notes being overwhelmed by faces and voices and describes the judge as being “high above.” wright describes his mother waking him to go to court and waiting in a “huge crowded room.” wright explains his worry about the possibility of the judge asking him questions.

The correct answer is - Wright notes being overwhelmed by faces and voices and describes the judge as being “high above.”

Wright would have been fairly young at this point as illustrated by how he was overwhelmed by many faces and voices which he could not understand. This would be a typical situation for a child to feel overwhelmed in, so many faces he didn't know and voices saying things he couldn't understand because he wasn't old enough yet to know what was being said. In addition he says that the judge was 'high above' which would indicate that he was still short in height as would be fitting for a child.

1. the details that would clarify the authors purpose for writing would be after the "haley collected used soccer jersey and sent them to guatemalan children." part, he would say, "and you can also donate today to save ". so far in the text, you can see no such thing. if, near the end the author persuades you to donate to guatemalans, then you know that the author's reason to write is to persuade you.

2. what details would make the text more engaging is to see the guatemalan children's reaction to getting free jerseys.

3. the details that convey the author's attitude would be an opinion by the author, for example, if he said, "haley was a very nice girl " or, you can find the attitude by finding parts of haley's personality that he highlights. you can strengthen your tones by using more descriptive words, and simplify long sentences as much as you can.
