Question

forget sanity if youre the only one with a pass to sit in the back of church during service. well, not every time. i remember once when i attended confession. i was in fourth grade. i was standing with my class in line to take the eucharist i wasnt supposed to be in line but i didnt feel like sitting like a loner in the back pew till the end of the service. we took turns as brother andrew offered us the eucharist. i wanted to try the holy bread. i took a taste and spat the rest into my hands. i dont know what i was expecting. wonder bread? i slipped the chewed - up remains in my jacket pocket and made my way to the line outside the confession box. mrs. piogami was too busy yelling at chris barkley for asking brother andrew if the bread was low - carb to notice a muslim kid standing in line for confession. when it was my turn i walked into the confessional and sat down on the bench. the slide opened and i heard a gentle, kind voice. \what is your confession, my child?\ i froze. the priest would declare me a heretic, my parents would call me a traitor, and mrs. piogami would give me detention. i had no idea what to say. i mean, what does a muslim confess to a priest? i could which statement is true about the narrators different perspectives? it can be difficult and confusing when you do not know why you need to do certain things. it is easy to do things that people tell you to do, even when you do not understand why. it is exciting to do new and different things, even when you do not understand them. it is easy to make friends at a new school when you are different from everyone else.

Explanation:

The narrator, a Muslim kid, is in a Christian church - related situation (attending confession, taking Eucharist). His actions and internal thoughts (confusion about confessing to a priest, not knowing what to expect, feeling like a loner) show that he is doing things (like participating in the church service) that he doesn't fully understand (as a Muslim in a Christian religious context). The text shows his struggle and lack of understanding of why he is doing these things (e.g., "I didn't feel like sitting like a loner in the back pew till the end of the service", "I froze. The priest would declare me a heretic... I had no idea what to say. I mean, what does a Muslim confess to a priest?").

Answer:

It can be difficult and confusing when you do not know why you need to do certain things.
