Question

bird of a different feather carleen huddled in the corner of the living room next to the dusty piano. carleen’s sisters took up the center of the room, reliving their latest basketball victory, and her parents watched from the couch, bursting with pride and talk of future college scholarships. across the living room, her aunt rayann, who’d just dropped by, sat quietly twirling her beaded braids and listening. in her family, carleen was a bird of a different feather. unlike her more athletic sisters, she’d won a starring role in the school musical. how is rayann’s view of carleen’s parents different from carleen’s view of them? drag one sentence to each box. rayann’s view carleen’s view :: she thinks they believe carleen is too quiet. :: she thinks they are more interested in carleen’s sisters. :: she thinks they find carleen easy to care for. :: she thinks they find carleen’s focus on singing troubling.

Explanation:

• For Rayann's View: As an outside observer, Rayann would notice the parents' focus is on the athletic sisters (talking about their basketball victory and scholarships), so she thinks they care more about Carleen's sisters.
• For Carleen's View: Carleen feels like an outcast in her family, so she would believe her parents find her focus on singing (her non-athletic passion) troubling compared to her sisters' sports success.

Answer:

Rayann's View: She thinks they are more interested in Carleen's sisters.
Carleen's View: She thinks they find Carleen's focus on singing troubling.
