Complete Question

Read the excerpt from “The Railroad Earth.” And the Bible on my desk next to the peanut butter, the lettuce, the raisin bread, the crack in the plaster, the stiff-with-old dust lace drape now no longer laceable. . . . My little room at 6 in the comfy dawn (at 4:30) and before me all that time, that fresh-eyed time for a little coffee to boil water on my hot plate, throw some coffee in, stir it, French style, slowly carefully pour it in my white tin cup, throw sugar in. . . . What does this excerpt suggest about the narrator?

The excerpt suggests that the narrator is content even though he lives in a poor building.

Explanation:

The excerpt show that the narrator of the text lives in a dingy or rundown neighbourhood but he's content with the little he has.

The first paragraph describes the things in his room and the way they're arranged

The second paragraph describes the size of the narrator's room

Towards the end of the second paragraph, his contentment was illustrated by the way he drinks coffee.

All this point to the fact that the narrator is content with life even though he lives in a dingy neighbourhood
