Read this passage from "An Hour with Abuelo” by Judith Ortiz Cofer. Then with her pushing the wheelchair – maybe a little too fast – they roll down the hall. He is already reading from his notebook, and she’s making bird noises. I look at my watch and the hour is up, to the minute. I can’t help but think that my abuelo has been timing me. It cracks me up. I walk slowly down the hall toward the exit sign. I want my mother to have to wait a little. I don’t want her to think that I’m in a hurry or anything.

What does Arturo’s perspective reveal about the consequences of his visit?

The way he feels about his mother has changed.
The way he feels about the old lady has changed.
The way he feels about visiting his abuelo has changed.
The way he feels about the nursing home has changed.
