Point of View 2

Which sentence from the passage shows the narrator's attitude about his friendship with Chiba?

My Best Friend by A. Gautam

     Chiba Okereke was my best friend. I remember the day he moved into my neighborhood. He was a quiet boy with eyes that always told a story. I could not help but talk to him. My mother had invited his family for dinner one day, and Chiba found out he could go to school for free in this country. Thus, Chiba and I walked to school every day, took the same classes, and always stayed together.      One morning, Chiba did not show up at the front door of my house when it was time to go to school. Although it was unusual for Chiba to not be there, I thought he might have been sick. That day, I went to school alone. When he did not show up for school, I went to his apartment to check on him. Chiba seemed perfectly healthy; he was peeling potatoes in the kitchen. He gave me a warm smile and offered me some tea.       "I woke up late," Chiba said casually. That day, I realized how much I valued Chiba's friendship. He also realized that I was worried and felt bad. We decided to exchange numbers so that next time we could get in touch with each other.

Last month, the mayor of my town passed a new law to ban skateboard riding in town. No one is allowed to ride a skateboard on the sidewalks or in the streets. The mayor said he passed the law because some kids were crashing their skateboards into people on purpose. A lot of people in Hawkville like the law, but I don't think it is right for the mayor to punish everyone just because some kids cause trouble. Where am I supposed to ride my skateboard now? What is this person's perspective of the new skateboard law?

• safe

• unfair

• necessary

• important

The mother walked into her sons' room and grimaced. She could smell their dirty laundry peeking out of the hamper all the way down the hall. Though it was technically out of sight, it still fouled up the room. She glanced at the dusty shelves and soda spilled on the carpet and considered calling them in to clean their room right this second. She couldn't believe they didn't mind living like this. A peek under the bed revealed candy wrappers and other assorted junk. The boys entered the room noisily and started talking at once.     "What do you think, Mom? We put away all of our clothes and books!"     "Yeah, aren't you impressed? Our room is so clean, you can even see the carpet!!"     The mother just sighed and shook her head. She gestured at the spilled soda and then asked them if they could please do their laundry before tomorrow.     "Aww, Mom. All we ever do is clean!" What evidence proves that the mother thinks the room is disgusting. Choose 2.
