Question

Read the excerpt from Does My Head Look Big in This? by Randa Abdel-Fattah.

I froze. The priest would declare me a heretic, my parents would call me a traitor, and Mrs. Piogarni would give me detention. I had no idea what to say. I mean, what does a Muslim confess to a priest? I could only think of one thing. That every time Chris Barkley called me a darkie, or teased me about my mom's towel-head, I made a silent prayer asking God to drop a tree on his stupid head.

The priest asked me again: "What is your confession, my child?"

"I’m Muslim," I whispered.

"Five Hail Marys and five of the Lord’s Prayer.”

That was my first and last participation in a church service.

Which sentence best explains how the tone reveals the narrator’s perspective?

The narrator is frightened because she is a Muslim making a Catholic confession.
The narrator is confused because she does not know what the Lord’s Prayer is.
The narrator is terrified because she is ashamed of her previous thoughts.
The narrator is annoyed because no one has taught her how to make a confession.

Answer 1

   The narrator was frightened because her mother would declare her a heretic. She may or may not know the Lord's Prayer and she could be terrified because of her previous thoughts. And she was annoyed because nobody had taught her how to make a confession, resulting in the mention of her religious belief and not some personal wrongdoing.

Answer is A.

Answer 2

The sentence that shows that the narrator's tone and perspective is that the  narrator is frightened because she is a Muslim making a Catholic confession.

Why is the narrator scared?

• She worries that the Priest would label her a heretic for going against her religion to engage with Christianity.
• She worries that her parents would consider her traitorous to Islam.

With these worries in mind, the summary would be that the narrator is frightened that her engagement with Christianity as a Muslim would lead to negative consequences.

In conclusion, option A is correct.
