Question

review the story. lake magic 1 izzie pulled her oars out of the water and stowed them in the boat, then twitched her fishing pole. nothing. nothing was working out this summer. 2 when mom told izzie and jayden about her new assignment—six weeks in afghanistan to write a magazine story—izzie was excited for her. but then mom left and exiled them to northern vermont, where gramps had his cabin on lake champlain. theyd hardly heard from her since then, because communication was so unreliable where she was. 3 izzie stirred the water with her oar. then a far - off shape caught her eye. what is the effect of telling the story from izzies perspective? it makes the reader believe that champ is not only real but also magical. it creates tension because the reader, like izzie, doesnt know why jayden acts the way he does. it causes the reader to forget that gramps and jayden are important characters in the story.

Explanation:

When a story is told from a character's perspective, the reader experiences events through that character's eyes. In this case, as Izzie doesn't know Jayden's motives, the reader shares her lack of knowledge, creating tension. There's no mention of "Champ" in the provided text, and it's unlikely the reader would forget other important characters just because of the perspective.

Answer:

It creates tension because the reader, like Izzie, doesn't know why Jayden acts the way he does.
