Question 1 • 25-26 TX-Literary Genres

Read this passage from Dragonwings by Laurence Yep.During those trips alone among the demons, Father and I learned things about one another; and more, we learned about being a father and a son. Every trip was an adventure into a strange, fearful city; and yet I felt safe by my father's side. Anyone who could laugh and tell stories and jokes and sing while he was alone among the demons must know what he was doing. In my own mind, Father was the embodiment of Uncle's superior man.

B
He finds them funny and entertaining.
C
