Question

Which excerpt from “How I Learned English” uses the first-person point of view to show that the main character feels out of place in his new environment?

It was in an empty lot
Ringed by elms and fir and honeysuckle.
Bill Corson was pitching in his buckskin jacket,
Unnatural and without any moves,
My notions of baseball and America
Growing fuzzier each time I whiffed
I watched it closing in
Clean and untouched, transfixed
By its easy arc before it hit
There was a wild stamping of hands on the ground,
A kicking of feet, and the fit
Of laughter overtook me too,
A B C OR D

Answer 1

C — "My notions of baseball and America / Growing fuzzier each time I whiffed."
It uses first-person ("My"/"I") and explicitly shows the narrator's confusion and alienation in the new setting.
