Answer:
- Part A - Paul acts as a protector for the narrator, by helping her to see what is appropriate for her.
- Part B - "It will not occur to me until I am an adult to wonder if Paul convinced all the kids he could train wild raccoons to compete in swim meets, or if he just made up a kinder explanation for me.”
Explanation:
Paul King is the park naturalist for the Park where the narrator and her parents are volunteering as docents for a restored lighthouse in the short story, <em>Raccoon Olympics </em>by<em> Anna Chotlos</em>.
In the story, Paul catches a racoon and explains that sometimes the racoon population gets too large for sustainability. When asked what he does with the captured racoons, he says that he trains them to become swimmers in the Racoon Olympics which was a lie as he did not want her to know that they culled them.
This showed that he acted as a protector for the narrator by explaining things in an appropriate way to her.
