Theme and Purpose in Poems Written by Teenage Girls — Quiz

Question 7 • English Language Arts 8

Read the excerpt from "Escape." I look inside me and I don’t see it I don’t see the power The confidence you say I have You say I can do anything That I’m sure of myself and my intentions And I wonder But I don’t know How do these lines support the theme that the speaker can see herself differently than others see her?

Answer
A
They show that the speaker is unsure of who she is, even though others seem certain.
B
They show that the speaker struggles with her view of others, even though they know who they are.
C
They show that the speaker wants to be the person other people think she is, even though it is difficult.
D
They show that the speaker feels confident, even though others don’t think that she is.

Explanation

Other people tell the speaker she has power, confidence, and certainty, but she says she cannot see those qualities in herself. Her uncertainty shows the difference between how others view her and how she views herself. Choice A correctly describes this contrast.
