First of all, if the story would be in chronological order, there would be no story at all. This is because the main character of the story, Anna, won't tell the narrator, her daughter, a lot about her past. "She has kept no squinted costume, no photographs, no fliers or posters from that part of her youth".
Because the narrator tells the story in the present and uses flashbacks is the reason that she can unify certain themes, such as the three times her mother saved her life because of her leaps. "I owe her my existence three times". These three leaps the narrator owes her life might be: when Anna Saves herself when she falls from the trapeze, when she falls in love with the narrator's father, and when she saves the narrator life from a fire by climbing to the room where the narrator is trapped.
Answer:
A. Critical
Explanation:
Annie uses the words "iron-gated prison" to describe the middle school. Obviously, middle schools are not literally prisons, but when described as prisons, one can believe that Annie truly felt as if the institution limited her freedom and kept her "chained" to schoolwork.
With this kind of attitude toward school, it would only be natural for the answer to have something to do with dislike.
B) Annie doesn't feel hesitant (which means cautious) because she clearly expresses her thoughts very bluntly.
C) She is definitely not regretful because she's glad to have "escaped" from the school.
D) If Annie is not regretful, then she cannot be devastated (which, in this scenario, is basically just a more extreme version of regretful).
Thus, the answer is A (critical) because she's very keen on pointing out the negative aspects of the school.
Hope this helps!

This contrasted to the covenant of works (the belief that behavior can bring salvation).</span>
