9 As I sat with Sphinx, I felt petrified, wondering if I was cut out for veterinarian’s work, but as Sphinx lay there, I was drawn to him. He rolled on his back, and I lightly stroked his belly. He closed his eyes and purred lightly. Then, he did something touching. He curled around my hand, wrapped his legs around my forearm, and rubbed his face against me. A smile emerged on my face, and Dr. Farber walked through the door at that moment and complimented my bedside manner.
Based on the author's use of details and language in paragraph 9, what can you infer?

the narrator is a first person, participant one, who describes in the simple past tense important and difficult events in his earlier life. he also provides temporal markers as the month (january) and the time (12: 30 pm). finally the account of his experience is very detailed, to the extent that a participant narrator would talk the same way about his experiences. a good example of such detail is the mention of the “bovril ration” which historically was a native american food adopted by european explorers in arctic and antarctic regions due to its high level of calories.
