As you read the passage, which of these answers makes sense when it comes to Elmer? Looking through it, I see that Elmer was a child at the time of the story and was on an adventure. So, to say he was lazy does not make sense. Since he was a child looking for a dragon, it is unlikely that bravery was a part of this scenario. That leaves foolish or lost. He as stood there for awhile watching the lion, so I would say that foolish is the best answer.
Answer:
B) "he would say that god had given him a fail to keep the flies off, but that he would sooner have had no tail and no flies"
Difficult is the word that stress differently
The point of view presented by Ponyboy allows the reader to understand the events in a more personal and intimate way, as Ponyboy shows how he perceives things and how he feels about them.
Although you haven't shown it, we can see that this question is from the book "The Outsiders." Unfortunately, you didn't show the chapter to which this question refers, which makes it difficult for me to answer it specifically, but I will try to help you in the best possible way.
As we read these books, we can see that:
- The narrator of the book is Ponyboy, who is also the protagonist of the story.
- Ponyboy lives with his older brothers.
- They live with little economic resources and all are involved with street gangs.
- There is a lot of rivalry between street gangs, which creates a lot of violence and danger for the members.
- Ponyboy witnesses these dangers many times, as he is part of the greaser gang, which is the enemy of the socs.
When we look at the narration of these conflicts between the gangs, we can see that Ponyboy does not feel represented by either side of the conflict, for this reason, he narrates the events in a more intimate way, reinforcing the sense of displacement he feels.
While Ponyboy doesn't feel like he belongs to any of these gangs, his brothers are very loyal to the greaser gang. In that case, if they narrated the conflicts, they would present a narrative with a strong bias towards how the greasers acted.
