Read the following excerpt from a memoir. which sentence to identify this excerpt as a memoir by reflecting the author's thoughts and inner emotions? i grew up in norwood, massachusetts. it is a town known for being in the book of world records for having the most "townies," among other things. townies are people who spend their entire lives in a town and never move away. i went to school with a few students who were blood relatives to the founders of norwood, making them true "norwoodians." it was great having a true sense of home in norwood, but being just 20 minutes south of boston meant that we had easy access to the train by taking the bus to the forest hills train station. oh, how i can recall the bus ride from norwood into boston, through dedham, west roxbury, and roslindale. those days were filled with seeing the tree-lined suburbs race away stop after stop, as we got closer to the city. being able to hop on the "t", that is what we called the subway, brought sheer joy to me as a high school student, with the new-found freedom to hang out in the city. when i reached boston, i would get off on the orange line and walk around downtown crossing and marvel at how big the city was compared to what downtown norwood looked like. there were options. different foods, all types of stores, and i could never get enough of it. i travel back to boston often and when i do, i always make sure to get on the "t" at forest hills and take the swift ride into downtown crossing and relive my younger days.

Read the passage from animal farm. as clover looked down the hillside her eyes filled with tears. if she could have spoken her thoughts, it would have been to say that this was not what they had aimed at when they had set themselves years ago to work for the overthrow of the human race. these scenes of terror and slaughter were not what they had looked forward to on that night when old major first stirred them to rebellion. if she herself had had any picture of the future, it had been of a society of animals set free from hunger and the whip, all equal, each working according to his capacity, the strong protecting the weak, as she had protected the lost brood of ducklings with her foreleg on the night of major's speech. instead—she did not know why—they had come to a time when no one dared speak his mind, when fierce, growling dogs roamed everywhere, and when you had to watch your comrades torn to pieces after confessing to shocking crimes. there was no thought of rebellion or disobedience in her mind. she knew that, even as things were, they were far better off than they had been in the days of jones, and that before all else it was needful to prevent the return of the human beings. whatever happened she would remain faithful, work hard, carry out the orders that were given to her, and accept the leadership of napoleon. but still, it was not for this that she and all the other animals had hoped and toiled. it was not for this that they had built the windmill and faced the bullets of jones's gun. such were her thoughts, though she lacked the words to express them. what was most likely orwell’s purpose for writing this passage? to show that clover is more sensitive to violence than the others to remind readers of major's speech and the original rebellion to present napoleon as a cruel leader unworthy of the animals’ support to represent misled followers and their dashed hopes for better lives
