Answer: B (point of view)
Explanation:
Let's go through all the answer options.
A) time of day
The time of day isn't exactly the most important detail, since the story usually takes place over different days, months, or years. The exact time isn't the key point in the story.
B) point of view
This is a pretty important topic, since it influences "how the story is told", which is part of the question.
C) first name of character
While this is nice info to have, it does not affect the way a story is told. It is just a minor convenient detail.
D) camera angle
This one doesn't apply at all since it's a book, not a movie. There are no cameras involved.
Therefore, the best answer is B!
Hope this helps! :)
Answer and Explanation:
This question refers to the short story "Harrison Bergeron", by Kurt Vonnegut. Set in the future, the plot revolves around a strange type of equality imposed by the American government. People who are beautiful, talented, or intelligent, for example, are forced to wear handicaps to be ordinary. Harrison is a 14-year-old who wears several handicaps. One day, he escapes prison, rips his handicaps off in live television, and dances with a ballerina. However, they are both shot and killed by the Handicapper General, Diana Moon Glampers.
Imagine that Diana Moon Glampers had missed and that Harrison and the ballerina escaped. How might the story's plot have changed?
If Harrison and the ballerina had escaped, it is possible that the plot would develop toward their being chased down by the government. It is also possible that other people who were forced to wear handicaps might feel inspired by Harrison's action. Perhaps more and more people would begin to tear off their handicaps and join Harrison in his act of defiance.
Steve is defensive especially now that Don has pointed out that nobody knows what he has been doing in the basement. The evidence suggests that Steve is going to get angry at Steve for accusing him of causing all of the strange goings on in the neighborhood. To Don, this anger is more evidence that Steve is up to something.
