Question

(1) After my interview with these four young people, I reflected on the quiet sense of \"difference\" I sensed with many of these Upward Bound students. (2) As a college teacher who has also taught seventh-grade science, I have some experience with the faces and attitudes of adolescence. (3) Upward Bound students had those faces. (4) There was the puzzled coping with changing bodies—hormone hell. (5) There was ambivalence about \"authority figures\" and uncertainties about whether or not the world would have some place for them. (6) There were the studied rationalizations about lapses on homework

Answer 1

The essay is about the personal opinion of a teacher interviewing Upward Bound students. The tone of this essay is that while teens are growing up, they are becoming more unsure of their place in this world. In this case, the teacher does not approve students are handling adolescence nowadays.
