“A Huge Mistake”

Part A:
How does the author use characterization to build tension in the story?

A. The author describes Ezra’s sister as “overbearing” and shows how her personality creates conflict in the family.

B. The authors shows Ezra’s aunt to be a pessimistic character, and then shows the optimistic Ezra coming into conflict with her.

C. The author created a narrator who is focused on the future rather than the present and places him in a situation where that causes problems.

D. The author depicts Ezra’s mom as a generous character, and then shows that generosity being taken advantage of.



Part B:
Which evidence from the text best supports the correct answer in Part A?

A. Ezra thinks so much about his date and how much Juliana will like the car that he fails to focus on driving safely.

B. Ezra’s mom allows Ezra to drive her car, and he chose her no gratitude or appreciation, which leads his mom’s anger.

C. Ezra’s sister’s “frustrating” behavior is what leads Ezra to want to drive his mom’s car in the first place.

D. Ezra’s aunt rolls her eyes and mumbled about Ezra driving the new car, which angers Ezra and leads to the accident.
