The following excerpt is from “Hitting Trees with Sticks” by Jane Rogers (published in 2010). In this passage, the speaker, an older woman named Celia Benson, arrives home from an outing. She has just walked by two children at play, one of whom is methodically hitting a tree with a stick. Read the passage carefully. Write a paragraph in which you make a defensible claim regarding how Rogers uses a first-person point of view to express Celia’s complex perspective. In your paragraph, you should incorporate at least one piece of evidence from the text to support your claim.

Jane makes sure that the words are being spoken by Celia herself and the conversations she has with herself.

Explanation:

In the first paragraph of the passage itself, Jane Rogers helps the readers understand Celia's complex perspectives through the words "Hitting trees makes me think of the way they sometimes feed remains of animals to the same species - pigs, for example.".

Throughout the passage, Jane makes sure that the words are being spoken by Celia herself and the conversations she has with herself help the readers understand that the author uses first person point of view.
