Read the passage. whistling my worries away how does the exposition function in this story? a.) it introduces the narrator’s complicated family relationships. b.) it provides background into the narrator’s experience with drama production. c.) it introduces the narrator and the situation. d.) it demonstrates why the narrator doesn’t have a summer job already.

The answer would be letter C. It introduces the narrator and the situation.

In the short story Whistling My Worries Away, the narrator, Benito, offers some backstory to explain why he is taking the bus at the crack of dawn to spend the day with a bunch of seven-year-olds.

This backstory is a device called exposition in literature. It gives the reader the information needed to better understand the characters and the plot. In this short story, the exposition lets us know that Benito was convinced to take a summer job at a kids camp by his cousin. Even though he has experience with plays, he has never worked with children before and is now supposed to help them come up with a skit. Benito decides to take the offer not only to help his cousin, but also to save some money and buy a new computer.

Note: you didn't include the passage, so I assumed it is the beginning of the story.

1. this would be first person. it would be like "i walked home from school today" they are the narrator of the story and is a character as well.

2. first person because they used the word "i" in the quote.

3. i'm really not sure about this one i'm really sorry i never read it so i wouldn't know how to answer it. 

4. it would be character vs. society because everyone he meets there is always a conflict of some sort because he's stuck in his daydream.

5. it would be sadness at the loss of youth because the title itself tells us it's about age so it couldn't be about regret. and the tone just sounds sad, not angry. 

i hope this !

hi there!

sorry i was debating over answering this question or not, but i do believe it is a sin to be gay. in the beginning, god created man and he created women to be a for man. there are many "political" views on this topic but i believe the bible is right. in the kjv bible, leviticus 18: 22, god talks about how it it is an abomination for women to be with women and man to be with man. god knows that everybody is a sinner, and he gives everyone a chance to repent. i'm not forcing god's word on anybody, but i do believe it is a sin. no matter the sin, as long as you repent, god is willing to forgive, you just have to accept him as your lord and savior.
