(The following passage is exported from a 20th-century novelists account of her development as a writer) Who was I anyway? Why should anyone pay attention to what I had to say? Did I have anything to say? I was writing science fiction and fantasy, for gods sake. At the time nearly all professional science fiction writers were white men. As much as I love science fiction and fantasy, what was I doing? (Paragraph 8) The author uses a series of questions in the eighth paragraph primarily to express her?
a.) Pride, which stems from the fact that she has “ no gift for suffering in silence”(paragraph 4)
b.) doubts, which support the claim that “there seems to be an unwritten rule, hurtful and at odds with the realities of American culture” (paragraph 10)
c.) self-confidence, which is based on the idea that black women are “supposed to know [they are] as good as anyone” (paragraph six)
d.) shame, which develops because “that sort of talk is embarrassing” (paragraph six)
e.) fear, which is grounded in her knowledge that “positive obsession is dangerous” (paragraph nine)

Read the excerpt from "home front diary." jimmy simmons stopped by today to tell me that he had enlisted in the army. he asked me if i would write to him, and i said i would. i told him that i've been writing to my uncle arthur and susan's cousin john for about a year, and as an experienced correspondent i had some advice about all the censorship. "don't write down any information about your location or the number of soldiers in your unit because the censors will cut all of that away," i said. "in my experience, loose lips not only sink ships, they make letters look like snowflake decorations! ” well, he belly laughed over that one. how is the author's perspective different from jimmy's? the author has been to war and she can give jimmy advice. jimmy has become a soldier and does not believe the author’s advice. the author has experience writing to soldiers but jimmy does not. jimmy has more experience at letter writing than the author.
