Introduction to Identity and Expectations: Story Elements in "Seventh Grade"

Question 2 • *CR Expository Reading and Writing S1 [E4250OX]

Which excerpt from “Seventh Grade” is an example of an external expectation?

Answer
A
He already spoke Spanish and English, but he thought someday he might travel to France, where it was cool.
B
Victor sat calmly, thinking of Teresa, who sat two rows away, reading a paperback novel. This would be his lucky year.
C
He turned a page in the book and stared at some math problems that scared him because he knew he would have to do them eventually.
D
Mr. Bueller said that if the students studied hard, at the end of the year they could go to France and be understood by the populace.

Explanation

An external expectation comes from another person or from outside pressure. Mr. Bueller tells the students they should study hard so they can go to France and communicate, making this an expectation set by their teacher. The other excerpts describe Victor’s own thoughts or feelings, so they are internal rather than external.
