Select the correct text in the passage. during his boyhood, the main character in john updike's "the brown chest" believes that

the present is more powerful than the past. which part of the excerpt supports this statement? the entire front of the house had this neglected quality, with its guest bedroom where guests hardly ever stayed; it held a gray-painted bed with silver moons on the headboard and corner posts shaped at the top like mushrooms, and a little desk by the window where his mother sometimes, but not often, wrote letters and confided sentences to her diary in her tiny backslanting hand. if she had never done this, the room would have become haunted, even though it looked out on the busy street with its telephone wires and daytime swish of cars but the occasional scratch of her pen exerted just enough pressure to keep away the frightening shadows, the sad spirits from long ago, locked into events that couldn't change.

Author John Updike's short story, “The Brown Chest” uses symbolism and imagery, and sensory writing to focus on the idea that family memories never fade away and material things can maintain a deeper meaning no matter what they endure.

<h3 /><h3>How much time passes in the story about the brown chest?</h3>

He starts at the beginning of the story by saying that there were a lot of grown-up legs so that means he was small.

He says that he was 13 when he moved. Then the story says 20 years later and then 2 years later.
