I see no way out of this room. Four walls staring blankly, watching my every sneeze. 5 My mom in and out caring for me with ease. My coughs and pains have me in this bed with no way to play, 10 only to wonder instead. Have things changed much since I've been away? Thinking about going out, or maybe I'll just take a quick look. 15 Not too sure what to do I could reread this old book. For a moment I thought I heard the sound of joy lurking right outside my door. 20 Maybe when all is well, it will be my laughter and play that can be heard outside of these walls. It's getting closer, I can tell. 1 The first-person point of view allows the reader to - A. understand how the speaker feels about not being able to go outside B. see the differences between the speaker and the mom in the poem C. understand the feeling of loneliness felt by the speaker D. discover more information about the speaker's life Reset Next Question
