here's your shmoop du jour brought to you by

00:06

firecrackers for when you want to get someone's attention but saying hello [Man throws firecracker at a woman reading a book]

00:11

seems way too boring yeah... alright take a look at the

00:15

following passage Chelsea Simpson had been my next-door neighbor for years she

00:19

always had been mean to me she once even shoved a firecracker in my mailbox

00:22

while I was on vacation. Despite all this, I felt sorry for her parents were never home she had

00:26

no friends huh okay here's our question which sentence in the passage best shows

00:30

the narrator's point of view on the topic of Chelsea Simpson and here are our

00:34

potential answers alright Chelsea what you're doing to us, oh Chelsea girl... So to

00:39

pick the right sentence we really need to figure out the narrator's point of [Man squeezing piece of paper]

00:42

view let's see if we can ring the point of view out of the passage without

00:46

getting it on the rug.. So let's take another look at what the

00:50

passage is all about and see if we can figure out where Chelsea's neighbors are

00:53

coming from... As we read it we see some things that suggest the author might

00:57

just hate Chelsea's guts there's all that stuff about how she was always mean [Chelsea throws a firecracker]

01:02

to them and infamous firecracker incident which probably didn't earn her

01:05

any personality points with the mailman either however despite these actions we [Mailman holding a hot letter]

01:09

also see that the narrator isn't filled with hatred but rather with pity how do

01:14

we know our narrator comes right out and says it see right here I felt sorry for

01:18

her looks like our pal Chelsea doesn't have the greatest home life and she's [Boys throwing a ball and Chelsea trying to catch it]

01:21

not super popular with her peers, so it kind of makes sense that she would act

01:25

out and that our narrator would understand why..we hear the mailman is

01:28

still waiting on a handwritten apology oh he's coming for ya now... So all we need to [Mailman goes to mail a letter and dog chases him]

01:33

do is pick the sentence that's all about how sorry the narrator felt for Chelsea

01:38

well, looking at our options that sentence is none other than C so that's our

01:42

answer and hey if you ever feel sorry for someone it's not a bad idea to give [Man gives girl a present]

01:46

them a gift just maybe not of firecrackers your mailman will thank you

01:53

you
