Read this excerpt from section iii of the way to rainy mountain. there were always dogs about my grandmother’s house…the old people paid them scarcely any attention, but they should have been sad, i think, to see them go. what is the effect of the first-person point of view in this excerpt? question 7 options: the reader gets a sense of the author’s feelings about the dogs that were a major part of kiowa culture. the reader learns what the legendary origins are of the dogs that are so important in kiowa culture. the reader finds out why other native americans associate dogs with the kiowas. the reader gets an outsider’s view on the role of dogs in kiowa culture

The answer is: The reader gets a sense of the author’s feelings about the dogs that were a major part of Kiowa culture.

In the excerpt from "The Way to Rainy Mountain," the author Scott Momaday uses the first-person point of view to make readers understand and be aware of the narrator's feelings and motives. In other words, the first-person point of view makes the reader go inside the character's mind. As a result, they are able to learn the narrator's thoughts and see the events of the story through his or her eyes.

The rest of the alternatives are incorrect because the passage does not provide information about the role of dogs in the Kiowa culture.

the purpose of the heading in the passage is to identify who is telling the story.

this excerpt is part of the book sugar changed the world (2010) written by marc aronson and marina budhos. as the book has been written by two people, the heading "marc" indicates that this specific excerpt is being narrated by aronson. in the fragment, marc describes his grandfather's story after hearing it from his cousin. however, there are other excerpts where budhos is the one that tells the story of her family.

aronson and budhos, who are husband and wife in real life, decided to write sugar changed the world when they found out how sugar, which had an important role in slavery and economy, changed their ancestors' lives.
