Question
he was most fifty, and he looked it. his hair was long and tangled and greasy, and hung down, and you could see his eyes shining through like he was behind vines. it was all black, no gray; so was his long, mixed - up whiskers. there warnt no color in his face, where his face showed; it was white; not like another mans white, but a white to make a body sick, a white to make a bodys flesh crawl - a tree - toad white, a fish - belly white. as for his clothes - just rags, that was all. he had one ankle resting on tother knee; the boot on that foot was busted, and two of his toes stuck through, and he worked them now and then. his hat was laying on the floor - an old black slouch with the top caved in, like a lid.
which best describes the effect of the narration?
it gives the reader an objective view of hucks father.
it foreshadows hucks argument with his father.
it helps the reader see hucks father through hucks eyes.
it distances the reader from huck and his father.
The narration uses descriptive details (like hair, face, clothes) to present Huck’s father’s appearance. Since it’s from Huck’s perspective (implied by the way the character is described as Huck would see him), this narration helps the reader visualize the father as Huck sees him. The other options: “objective view” is incorrect (the description has subjective, vivid imagery), “foreshadows argument” is not supported (no argument details), and “distances reader” is wrong (the vivid description draws the reader in, not distances).
