Highlight 3 examples of character development. Consider her speech, thoughts, actions, etc. Attach a specific character trait th

at is revealed by the text you highlighted and explain.
Only today I wish I didn’t have only eleven years rattling inside me like pennies in a tin Band-Aid box. Today I wish I was one hundred and two instead of eleven because if I was one hundred and two I’d have known what to say when Mrs. Price put the red sweater on my desk. I would’ve known how to tell her it wasn’t mine instead of just sitting there with that look on my face and nothing coming out of my mouth.
“Whose is this?” Mrs. Price says, and she holds the red sweater up in the air for all the class to see. “Whose? It’s been sitting in the coatroom for a month.”
“Not mine,” says everybody. “Not me.”
“It has to belong to somebody,”Mrs. Price keeps saying, but nobody can remember. It’s an ugly sweater with red plastic buttons and a collar and sleeves all stretched out like you could use it for a jump rope. It’s maybe a thousand years old and even if it belonged to me I wouldn’t say so.
Maybe because I’m skinny, maybe because she doesn’t like me, that stupid Sylvia Saldivar says, “I think it belongs to Rachel.” An ugly sweater like that all raggedy and old, but Mrs. Price believes her. Mrs. Price takes the sweater and puts it right on my desk, but when I open my mouth nothing comes out.
“That’s not, I don’t, you’re not…Not mine.” I finally say in a little voice that was maybe me when I was four.
“Of course it’s yours, ”Mrs. Price says. “ I remember you wearing it once.” Because she’s older and the teacher, she’s right and I’m not.
Not mine, not mine, not mine, but Mrs. Price is already turning to page thirty-two, and math problem number four. I don’t know why but all of a sudden I’m feeling sick inside, like the part of me that’s three wants to come out of my eyes, only I squeeze them shut tight and bite down on my teeth real hard and try to remember today I am eleven, eleven.

EXAMPLE: Rachel’s thoughts show that she is insecure. She is being really hard on herself for not standing up for herself more adequately after Mrs. Price assumes the red sweater is hers.

Answer:

Rachel experiences a self vs self conflict in which she wishes that she was older, therefor holding more knowledge and maturity, and being able to face difficult situations more easily. This tells us that Rachel might be easily intimidated or scared, as well as wistful, and that she may have an idealization of becoming an adult.

Answer:

The answer is, Third-Person Point of View.

Explanation:

There are three different points of view. Point of view is the perspective of the narrator or character in a story.

There is the First-person point of view, second-person point of view and the third-person point of view.

The first-person point of view is usually marked by the use of "I". In this case, you are understanding the story from the narrator's perspective. The narrator also is usually a character in the story and this serves as a first hand account.

Second-person point of view view isn't that commonly used and is marked by the use of "you". It gives the illusion of the narrator speaking directly to the reader.

The third-person point of view as in this poem is marked by the use of "he", "she", "they". The third person point of view may be from a character in the story or from an omniscient perspective where the person knows what's going to happen and seems to be looking down and observing the characters.

In this poem, the third-person point of view is shown by the use of "they". Despite the use of "I" initially, as you read further, you see that the point of view even tends to the omniscient perspective as he seems to know their emotion shown in "In joy they fled before the wind".

Also, it is an account describing other characters in the poem without seeming to be in the story itself. This solidifies it as the third-person point of view.
