What does Alfonso do in this passage? What is Alfonso's reason for his actions?
Alfonso sat on the porch trying to push his crooked teeth
to where he thought they belonged. He hated the way he
looked. Last week he did fifty sit-ups a day, thinking that
he would burn those already apparent ripples on his
stomach to even deeper ripples, dark ones, so when he
went swimming at the canal next summer, girls in cut-
offs would notice. And the guys would think he was
tough, someone who could take a punch and give it back.

answer: i dont know tbh

explanation:

hmm, sadly there is no dialogue. there is no place in the story where he is talking to anyone. it's more of just describing what he eats and where he sleeps. you have to become anne frank, give details of where you are, what other folks look like, how the environment is. have a little bit of dialogue tell of what people are specifically saying. anne frank talked about her entire household including the people, the objects, the lighting, the food they ate, and even the smell in the air. there has to be more to your diary entries, the whole story in its current state is only about peter van daan, the food, the sounds, and where he sleeps. also he seems to be writing only once a year yet more than that happened from day to day. for a friend, i can you write it out, if you want.
