EXCERPT 1. The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees recently interviewed 404 children who had arrived in the United Sta

tes from Honduras, El Salvador, Guatemala and Mexico; 58 percent said their primary reason for leaving was violence. (A similar survey in 2006, of Central American children coming into Mexico, found that only 13 percent were fleeing violence.) They aren’t just going to the United States: Less conflicted countries in Central America had a 712 percent increase in asylum claims between 2008 and 2013.
EXCERPT 2. Enrique allows himself to doze only on trains farther north, where the gangsters no longer control the tops of the trains. There, he jams his body into the crevice on top of a hopper, next to the trapdoors used to fill the car. Or he waits until the train rounds a curve, giving him a good view of all of the cars. He spots a boxcar with its door open. When the train slows, he jumps off and races to the boxcar, jumping inside for a quick nap.

The option that best reflects the technique the author uses to support her purpose on each excerpt is number 2) “The first excerpt uses facts and statistics, and the second excerpt is told as a story.” In the 1st excerpt the author uses credible sources and statistics to show a reality of refugees in Central America and their reasons for asking for asylum. In except 2 on the other hand, the author narrates a story in the 3er person to illustrate violence, drug and social context of a boy.

Option 1 is incorrect since no narrative skills (1st excerpt) nor quotations are used (2nd excerpt).

Option 3 is also incorrect since text 1 focuses on statistics, not on emotions. And text 2 does not use long explanations.

And option 4 is wrong since no strong words are used in text 1 and the second text is told in the 3rd person point of view instead of first person.

The scripts that children encounter in their daily lives lead them to create a personal narrative referred to as:
Temka [501]

A personal narrative can be an autobiography or an anecdote.

We can arrive at this answer because:

  • A personal narrative is a text, which tells a story that happened to the author.
  • In this case, the author tells personal moments in his life, highlighting personal experiences that were important to the author's life.

In this case, a personal narrative can be an autobiography, where the author shows his life, or an anecdote, where the author shows an important personal experience.

Since you didn't show the scripts the kids found, for that reason, it's not possible to answer this question specifically, but I hope the answer above can help you.
