In chapter 40, Sal receives a gift chicken from Ben. Chickens are Sal's favorite animal. However, this is not the only thing that is interesting about the chicken. The name of the chicken is Blackberry, which is interesting for two reasons. The first one is that blackberries remind Sal of her mother, and the feeling of fondness and sweetness associated with her. The irony, however, is that the chicken also reminds her of kissing, based on the story of the girl who claimed that kissing tasted like chicken. When Sal kissed a tree, she also felt a trace of blackberry, which reminded her of her mother.

Answer:

B) Alfonso wants others to notice him, and Amy is worried about what Robert  will think.

Explanation:

In the first passage, it's clear that Alfonso is very focused on what other people will think of him, causing him to do many things just to improve his appearance and what others think of him.

In the second passage, Amy constantly asks herself worrying questions, afraid of what Robert might think of her family's Chinese traditions.

Both demonstrate the theme that people often care about what others think of them.
