Summer vacation everyone kept telling me that a summer trip to hawaii would be the highlight of my summer. it was the worst week of my life. my big sister sobbed the whole way to the airport because she would miss her boyfriend. what an overreaction! the trip was six days long! he’d be there when she got back, but she was convinced she had a ticket to planet loneliness, not maui. after listening to her cry for six hours, i wanted to send her somewhere else, too. she started to cheer up when she saw the beaches, but that didn’t last long. our twin little brothers, who often egged each other on to bad decisions, made possibly their worst choice ever: testing how many days they could spend at the beach without wearing any sunscreen. not even one full day before they were so lobster-red that we had to go to the emergency clinic! after that, the beach was off limits. it was totally ridiculous that i couldn’t go swimming just because they were too silly to wear sunscreen. i wasn’t going to make that mistake. but it didn’t matter. mom decreed, “no beach for anybody.” so lucky me, i spent my vacation watching hawaiian tv and eating take-out food, rubbing lotion on my brothers’ blisters and watching my sister sniffle and text her boyfriend. what a vacation! next time i visit hawaii, i think i’ll go alone. how does the narrator’s choice of words express her attitude toward her sister? a) she is frustrated by her sister, as she expresses when she says, “after listening to her cry for six hours, i wanted to send her somewhere else, too.” b) she thinks her sister was foolish to decide to skip the trip just to be with her boyfriend; the narrator calls that the “worst choice ever” and “totally ridiculous.” c)she is irritated, but her attitude begins to change when she sees how her sister tries to enjoy the vacation, saying, "she started to cheer up when she saw the beaches." d)she sympathizes with her sister, saying, “the trip was six days long! ”
