Read the excerpt from chapter 6 of lizzie bright and the buckminster boy.

"because i wanted to know if it was true." "if what was true? " "if lizzie was lying to me. if all she wanted to do was to get me on her side so she wouldn't have to leave the island." reverend buckminster sighed. "it doesn't matter if it's true. it matters what people think. it matters that my congregation can tell me what to think when my son goes out to visit a negro girl on malaga island. it doesn't matter at all how she got you out there." "it matters to me," turner whispered. "speak up! " "it matters to me." the grim silence circled the room like an eager tiger. it flicked its tail greedily at them, circling, circling, circling. turner felt that it was about to pounce, claws fully out. and then it did.

consider reverend buckminster’s words: "it doesn’t matter if it’s true. it matters what people think.” how might the story be different had it been told primarily from the perspective of an adult?

it would focus more on the social implications of the racial conflict. it would focus less on the racial conflict between the two towns. it would be more accurate since adults tend to be more truthful. it would be less biased since adults tend to have fewer prejudices.

A. Focus more on social implications.

Adults can be just as biased, if not more so since they have so much life experience, which leads to more prejudices.  This is especially true since he is so worried about what people think.  Also, adults can be just as dishonest, so the statement about being more truthful doesn't apply here.  And since his words are directly referencing the racial conflict, there wouldn't be LESS of a focus on the racial conflict between the two towns, so A is the best choice.

you have to tell us what you're talking about or it's impossible to answer.

hi there!

one thousand and one nights, also called the arabian nights is a collection of middle eastern tales compiled in arabic during the islamic golden age, dated from the 8th to the 14th century. this collection was compiled of largely middle eastern and indian stories with an uncertain date and autorship whose tales such as aladdin, ali baba and sinbad the sailor -these ones were the most popular ones, the ones that have almost become part of western folklore.

as in much medieval european literature, the stories contained in this collection are set within a frame story. its scene is central asia, as known as "the islands or peninsulae of india and china", where king shahryar kills his wife after discovering her infidelities and as well as any other who betrayed him.   then, loathing all womankind, he marries and kills his new wife each day until no more candidates could have been found. his vizier had two daughters, scheherezade and dunyazad. the elder one -scheherezade- having devised a scheme to save herself and the others insisted that her father needed to give her in marriage to the king. each evening, she used to tell a story leaving it incomplete and promising to finish it the following night. the stories kept the king very interested, so eager to hear evey ending of each story, that he puts off her execution from day to day and finally he decided to give up with his plan. these stories are contained within the collection of 1001 nights, the bulk of the text is in prose, although verse is usually used for songs and riddles to express better the heightened emotion of them.
