Question 19 • (AG Q3) ELA 8: 25-26 (SWilliams)
Johann’s words, “Papa, I will do my best,” show that he cares about what his father thinks and wants to show him he can succeed. The detail that he stands at his full height also suggests he is trying to appear confident and capable. The other lines describe replacing a marker, setting aside worry, or traveling across the land, rather than showing Johann trying to impress Hans.
