A breeze ruffled the neat hedges of Privet Drive, which lay silent and tidy under the inky sky, the very last place you would ex

pect astonishing things to happen. Harry Potter rolled over inside his blankets without waking up. One small hand closed on the letter beside him and he slept on, not knowing he was special, not knowing he was famous, not knowing he would be woken in a few hours' time by Mrs. Dursley's scream as she opened the front door to put out the milk bottles, nor that he would spend the next few weeks being prodded and pinched by his cousin Dudley. . . . He couldn't know that at this very moment, people meeting in secret all over the country were holding up their glasses and saying in hushed voices: "To Harry Potter—the boy who lived!"

The excerpt above is from page 21 of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by J. K. Rowling. Which passage represents a correctly integrated quotation from the excerpt above?

A.
A wind sweeps gently over the trimmed hedges of Privet Drive, which liess quiet and neat under the dark sky, not a place where one would expect anything out of the ordinary to occur (Rowling 21).
B.
The Harry Potter books are so entertaining because they paint a picture of a world in which we all want to live. We all long to find that extraordinary secret that will reveal our own special quality. Like little infant Potter waiting outside his aunt and uncle's house (Rowling 21), it's just a matter of time until we find that we are, after all, special.
C.
Harry Potter lies outside his aunt and uncle's house, unaware that his life has changed forever (Rowling 21). He lies "not knowing he [is] special, not knowing he [is] famous . . ." (Rowling 21).
D.
Rowling builds a sympathetic protagonist with Harry Potter from the beginning of the series. In one of his first scenes in the first book, the infant Potter lies on a doorstep "not knowing he [is] special, not knowing he [is] famous . . ." (Rowling 21). We are told that not only is this boy surely unique and worthy, but that he would have a truly ordinary childhood—just like the rest of us.

BlackZzzverrR [31]

A credible narrator or reliable narrator will tell the story from the point of view of the truth, it does not matter if she or he has any attachment to what is going on in the story, readers can trust their words and understand the circumstances the way they the story unfolds. On the other hand, the unreliable narrator will tell their story from their point of view, they will embelish their deeds, hide or down play their problems, therefore the reader will always have the impression that the unreliable narrator is conducing the reader to trust them.

The crediable narrator will bring the facts to the reader and put the reader in the story, the reader can have the feeling of engagement on the narration. On the other hand, the unreliable narrator brings the uncertainty feeling tothe reader and the reader can dot the i's as they please because they know they cannot fully trust the narrator.
