My mother's boarders were many of them young men, and usually farmers' sons. They were almost invariably of
good character and behavior, and it was a continual
pleasure for me and my brothers to associate with them. I
was treated like a little sister, never hearing a word or
seeing a look to remind me that I was not of the same sex
as my brothers. I played checkers with them, sometimes
"beating," and took part in their conversation, and it
never came into my mind that they were not the same as
so many "girls."
- Loom and Spindle,
Harriet H. Robinson
Which statement best reflects the narrator's
perspective on the boarders?
Robinson feels angry that the boarders are allowed
to stay in her home.
Robinson feels superior to the boarders.
Robinson feels overlooked and left out when the
boarders stay.
Robinson feels like an equal, even though she is
the only girl.

The major was a little man with upturned mustaches. he had been in the war in libya and wore two wound-stripes. he said that if the thing went well he would see that i was decorated. i said i hoped it would go well but that he was too kind. i asked him if there was a big dugout where the drivers could stay and he sent a soldier to show me. i went with him and found the dugout, which was very good. the drivers were with it and i left them there. what effect does hemingway’s limited use of adjectives have? it slows down the narration by interrupting the action. it makes the few descriptive words he does use more vivid and forceful. it makes the narrator seem powerless and insincere. it prevents the readers from filling in the details with their own experiences.
