PART B: Which quote from the text best supports the answer to Part A?

A
“La took a step toward her father, but the look in his eyes made her back away into her bedroom and shut the door.” ( Paragraph 11)
B
“‘Then why did she leave?’ / Blue went and perched on the window sill. ‘That I don’t know.’” ( Paragraphs 41-42)
C
“La wrote about all of that and about the perfume bottle shaped like a teardrop that had brought her mother back.” ( Paragraph 101)
D
“She could smell the perfume and bittersweet wildflowers; she could hear Joni Mitchell’s ‘For the Roses’ playing softly.” ( Paragraph 109)

Answer:

C. “La wrote about all of that and about the perfume bottle shaped like a teardrop that had brought her mother back.” ( Paragraph 101)

Explanation:

This question refers to the text "Blue" by Francesca Lia Block. In this text, the author describes how La coped with her mother's leaving. Although she struggled at first, she was able to overcome this through writing.

Part A states that one of the main themes of the text is: "Sharing one’s feelings through writing can help one overcome emotional stress and connect with others." Therefore, this is the quote that best supports this theme, as the quote describes how writing helped La overcome her trauma.

’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
“Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!”
He took his vorpal sword in hand;
Long time the manxome foe he sought—
So rested he by the Tumtum tree
And stood awhile in thought.
And, as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!
One, two! One, two! And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.
“And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!”
He chortled in his joy.
’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

Excerpt from The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass
Frederick Douglass

1 I was born in Tuckahoe, near Hillsborough, and about twelve miles from Easton, in Talbot county, Maryland. I have no accurate knowledge of my age, never having seen any authentic record containing it. By far the larger part of the slaves know as little of their ages as horses know of theirs, and it is the wish of most masters within my knowledge to keep their slaves thus ignorant. I do not remember to have ever met a slave who could tell of his birthday. They seldom come nearer to it than planting-time, harvest time, cherry-time, spring-time, or fall-time. A want of information concerning my own was a source of unhappiness to me even during childhood. The white children could tell their ages. I could not tell why I ought to be deprived of the same privilege. I was not allowed to make any inquiries of my master concerning it. He deemed all such inquiries on the part of a slave improper and impertinent, and evidence of a restless spirit. The nearest estimate I can give makes me now between twenty-seven and twenty-eight years of age. I come to this, from hearing my master say, some time during 1835, I was about seventeen years old.
