Read the passage. Why did the author most likely use dialogue instead of
description?
When I got to my cabin at camp, the other campers
showered me with a chorus of greetings.
O to allow the plot to progress
O to show how the narrator felt
"I'm Alex," the red-headed boy closest to me said.
"Javier," called the boy with the glasses sitting next to
him.
O to emphasize the point of view
to show who the characters are
"Miguel," waved the boy in the corner. He was sitting
surrounded by a pile of comic books.
A fourth boy, taller than the rest, walked up and shook
my hand. "I'm Asher. Grab a bunk."
