Standing next to bennie, who watched scotty while frenetically working his handset, alex felt what was happening around him as if it had already happened and he were looking back. he wished he could be with rebecca and cara-ann, first dully, then acutely—with pain. his handset had no trouble locating his wife’s handset, but it took many minutes of scanning that section of the crowd with his zoom to actually spot her. what is happening in this excerpt? alex is suffering from a flashback and needs the support of his wife and child. alex recognizes the significance of the moment and wants to share it with his family. alex registers the chaotic energy of the crowd and fears for the safety of his family. alex is attempting to locate his wife and child, but his handset is malfunctioning.

I would contend that the right answer is the A) Alex is suffering from a flashback and needs the support of his wife and child.

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that in this excerpt from A Visit from the Goon Squad, the character of Alex was suffering from a flashback, since he felt "what was happening around him as if it had already happened and he were looking back." In addition, the narrator reveals that he wished, intensely and painfully, he could be with Rebecca and Cara-Ann, so it can be inferred that he needed the support of his wife and daughter. His handset was working perfectly, so option D can be unhesitatingly discarded.

should you be the one doing this journal entry? it says "your special talent or skill". are you gonna lie 'bout your talent and make us fake a talent for you?

also this is a really easy journal entry, you can just think of a skill your good at and write did you work hard to become good at this skill (ex: drawing, writing, math, playing music, etc.) or does it come naturally (like a cool trick that you can do with your body). you can do all of that in 150 words. just try and think of a talent and even if your bad at this talent just say your working hard to become good at it.
