Question 8 • English Language Arts 9
Read the excerpt from Outcasts United . Luma blew her whistle and told the two teams to gather at opposite ends of the field. "She's more than a coach—that's why," Fornatee said, almost to himself. "She's a great person. I'm going to go over there and tell her, 'That's my team.'" Fornatee hesitated. I asked him if he was nervous about talking to Coach. He laughed anxiously, then composed himself. "Nah—I'm not nervous," he said. A moment later, Fornatee made his way toward Luma. She was standing in a huddle of Under Fifteen players, assigning them their positions. Fornatee tried to blend into the group as if he expected to get a position. "Fornatee," Luma said when she saw him, "go away." In this excerpt, which line shows a switch from third-person point of view to first-person point of view?
