Read the excerpt from The Red Umbrella.
Frankie leapt onto Papá’s lap. "So, the soldiers won’t be back, right, Papá?”
"Frankie! Papá’s tired. Get off him.” I grabbed Frankie by the arm.
"No, it’s all right, Lucy. Here, sit next to me, too.” Papá scooted over in the chair so I could squeeze in next to him. "And no, Frankie, I don’t expect the soldiers to come back. But things are going to change for us.” He sighed and looked at Mamá sitting by his feet. "Here, first let me give you this.” He reached into his pocket and pulled out Mamá’s wedding ring.
"Fernando, you got it back!”
What do Papá’s actions demonstrate about him?
He tends to favors his son over his daughter.
He cares about his family and feels close to them.
He has felt distant toward his family since his return.
He does not want to share the truth about his time in prison.
