Question

read the excerpt from \wherefore art thou romeo?\ \minor detail,\ shondra said. \you just have to say it like you mean it. come on, pretend im her.\ she sat down and put a giant smug grin on her face. \just remember: think pain, but say romeo.\ based on this dialogue, what is shondras attitude toward the narrator?

• she believes the narrator is purposefully trying to forget her lines.
• she wishes she could switch parts in the play with the narrator.
• she wants the narrator to remember all of her lines for the play.
• she is confused about the meaning of the narrators lines.

Explanation:

To determine Shondra's attitude, we analyze her dialogue: she encourages the narrator to mean the lines ("Come on, pretend I'm her") and gives a tip to remember ("think 'pain,' but say 'Romeo'"). This shows she wants the narrator to recall their lines for the play. The first option is incorrect as there's no indication the narrator is purposefully forgetting. The second is incorrect as she doesn't mention switching parts. The fourth is incorrect as she's helping with line recall, not confused about meaning.

Answer:

She wants the narrator to remember all of her lines for the play.
