Read the passage. whistling my worries away read the passage. whistling my worries away it was the middle of the summer, and what was i doing? i was up at the crack of dawn, taking the bus across town to spend the day with a bunch of seven-year-olds. how did this happen? why hadn’t i said no? only a couple days earlier, i had been enjoying my usual, relaxed summer when the phone rang. my cousin luci—my favorite cousin—was almost in tears. “you have to me! ” she wailed when i answered the phone. luci had been working as a camp counselor for the summer. “i’m the drama counselor,” she said. “i the kids put on a skit for their parents at the end of camp. now my dad’s got this business trip and he’s offering to take my sister and me with him! to hawaii! for a month! it will be amazing—but i can’t just leave. the camp director really needs my , and dad says he won’t take me unless i can find someone to fill my spot. will you do it? you’re good at plays and all that stuff.” “i don’t do anything with little kids! ” i argued. i’m an only child and the baby of the family: tiny tots are not my thing. “i have no idea how to do a play with these kids.” luci snorted. “it doesn’t have to be fancy, benito. this isn’t like those plays your drama class does at school. just them throw together some little skit. sing a song. dance around a bit. the parents will love it. besides,” she added, “the pay’s pretty good. and i know you’ve been saving up for that new computer you wanted.” how does the flashback in paragraphs 2–5 affect the story? a.) it illustrates luci’s difficult relationship with the camp director, camila, which builds tension. b.) it offers perspective on benito’s extensive experience doing drama with young children, which creates surprise when he struggles to teach this group of campers. c.) it provides necessary background information, which increases the reader’s sympathy for the main character, but also creates tension for that character. d.) it gives the reader insight into what luci thinks of the camp, which creates surprise.
