Karen felt that the author's purpose in "the day andy came home" was to tell the reader about the day that the baby came home from the hospital. which passage best supports this purpose? 1.the day we brought my younger brother andy home from the hospital was a major day for my whole family. i still remember it vividly. 2.i didn't like the heat, and i complained about it. 3.then i began to really wish i had a chocolate malt--that's my favorite food--but my parents told me they wouldn't give in to a tantrum. 4.that's the way parents are, so i became totally quiet for the rest of the ride.
