Part B

Which quotation from the text best supports the answer to Part A?

“He took a medicine bottle out of his pocket when Sarah wasn’t looking and took a pill.”

"John ate quietly, not looking at anyone. Especially Cassie."

“John’s lips were set in a thin line. He didn’t even look at my book.”

“The man stared at Sarah for a moment. You could tell he thought about arguing with her.”

Respuesta :

As we read the text, we can see that John feels that Caleb's diary is something silly. This can be seen by the sentence where Caleb claims that John didn't even look at his book.

This sentence is:

“John's lips were set in a thin line. He didn't even look at my book.”

We can arrive at this answer because:

  • "Caleb's Story" recounts the moment when Caleb meets his grandfather, John.
  • It is the first time Caleb has contacted his grandfather, as Caleb's father had no contact with him, as he left when Caleb's father was still a baby.
  • John is trying to establish a family relationship, but this is difficult as he has been away for a long time.
  • In addition, he is uninterested in some family members, such as his grandchildren, as he shows no interest in what they do.
  • An example of this is the lack of importance he gives Caleb's diary that he doesn't even want to look at because he thinks it's silly.

This book shows how difficult family relationships are to establish, especially when communication between members is poor.
