Examining Dialogue in a Narrative Letter
in what ways does the dialogue in the letter paint a
picture for readers? Check all that apply.
Dear Sam, A couple of weeks ago, I was tired all of the
time. I would find myself dragging my feet during
baseball practice. I was so tired that my mom said, "You
look like one of those zombies from a horror movie. Your
face is pale, your eyelids are drooping, and your words
sound like mumbles." After she said that, I started going
to sleep earlier every night. It wasn't easy to give up that
time in my day, but I can tell it was worth it because my
brain no longer feels like pancake batter! I can think
clearly, and my coach told me I was fielding the ball
better than ever. I suggest you get more sleep, Sam.

Answer:

1, 3, and 4. ( 1. It helps readers see Nick’s mom as a caring person. 3. It explains what Nick’s mother felt and thought. 4. It helps readers see Nick’s mom as a real person. )

Explanation:

The dialogue is said by Nick's mom. So, the second one, "It shows what Nick thinks and feels.", is incorrect. However, the rest of them (aka 1, 3, and 4) are correct since they apply to Nick's mom.

Also I did the assignment on Edg and got it right.
