Jung is identifying the narrative techniques in a short story. Read this passage from the story:
(1) A repetitive, shrill sound snapped me awake. (2) I reached out to turn off my alarm, but then I remembered it was Saturday, and my sister was dog sitting her friend’s yappy beagle for the weekend—at our house. (3) I couldn’t imagine what had made her think that was a good idea. (4) She hadn’t even asked our parents for permission.
Which sentence should Jung identify as reflection?
A.
sentence 1
B.
sentence 2
C.
sentence 3
D.
sentence 4
C. sentence 3
C. sentence 3
To identify the reflection in the given passage, Jung should focus on a sentence that expresses the character's thoughts or feelings.
In this case, sentence 3 is the reflection as it expresses the narrator's thoughts: "I couldn’t imagine what had made her think that was a good idea." This sentence shows the narrator's opinion or judgment about their sister's decision to dog sit the yappy beagle.
Therefore, Jung should identify sentence 3 as the reflection in the passage.
