Read the excerpt from Barrio Boy by Ernesto Galarza. Hanging from a cord attached to the middle of the ceiling there was an electric bulb, low enough for an adult to reach and turn the black switch. I realized that this was our own electric light for us to turn on and off as we pleased. I pushed a chair under it and after some instruction from my mother proceeded to create lightning in the room by turning the switch as fast as I could. Which effective technique does the author mainly use to write this excerpt? A) clear point of view
B) interesting dialogue
C) detailed action
D) logical sequencing

C

Explanation:

This is English. It allows for an appreciation for the unusual. Aren't you impressed with a young boy inventing a way to be a young boy? He was not content to just turn on and turn off the switch. After taking instruction from his mother, he created a variation. Lightning. How many times have all of us turned on a light, and never once thought of a variation as this kid did?

You could pick interesting dialog, but there isn't any.

You could pick logical sequencing and I think that's the second best answer. He didn't get creative until he heard his mother's instruction.

And there really is a clear point of view. We're seeing this as a memory.

But I think the best answer is detailed action. It needs the sequencing and the point of view, but the action is what stays with us.

innocence can be defined as the lack of sin, relating it with the lack of guilt, also it can be a synonime of naivety. most people agree that sins are made out of experiences, intentionally or not, as well as you stop being naive once certain things happen to you throughout your life. so, with this explained, the chosen answers are:

when the boy saw the effects of war, he no longer viewed life as innocent.

the loss of innocence is a result of gaining experience and making mistakes.

one way to define innocence is as a lack of worldly experience or sophistication.
