Setting and Character in Dragonwings

Question 2 • 25-26 TX-Literary Genres

Which quote from Dragonwings by Laurence Yep best shows that the owner of the broken down car would probably welcome Father's help in the future?

Answer

“Many demons called Tang men John because, they insisted, they never could get the hang of our real names.”

“He had hardly heard the demon until the demon tapped him on the shoulder. ‘You sabe me? Garage. Repair my Oldsmobile.’”

“The demon stopped and studied Father as you might look at a dog that had suddenly said he was going to the opera.”

He reached into a pocket of his waistcoat and took out a card, and handed it to Father with a flourish.

Explanation

The owner hands Father his card, which gives Father a way to contact him again. That suggests the owner may welcome Father's help in the future. The other quotes describe names, a request for a repair, or the owner's surprised reaction, but they do not show an ongoing connection as clearly.
