Read the excerpt from Gonzalo's narration in Seedfolks. One morning he wandered outside and down the street. My mother practically fainted.

Why does the author most likely have Gonzalo share his mother's perspective?

to reveal that the family is hiding a secret
to show how much Gonzalo is like his mother
to stress the danger of Tío Juan's being off on his own
to show that Gonzalo is surprised by his mother's actions
