How might you figure out what the author wants you to think, feel, or do with the information in the article.
a) look for charts, tables, and graphs
b) look for the articles main idea
c) look for the table of contents

the statement flat characters usually only have one trait that is developed in their story lines is true.

i would say c, admiration because the narrator related to the main character and she, too, once felt ashamed about her culture and wished to be an american girl to impress a boy. she felt admiration because her mom prepared her favorite foods when her and robert's (the guy she liked) family all came together and had a family reunion.
