Theme and Purpose in Poems Written by Teenage Girls — Quiz

Question 4 • English Language Arts 8

Which excerpt from "Escape" adds to the theme that the speaker can see herself differently than others see her?

Answer
A
I look inside me and I don’t see it I don’t see the power The confidence you say I have
B
I wait anxiously Feeling my stomach A block of ice
C
Avoid conflict Watch my rainbow And let you watch yours
D
I must take this test just like everyone Takes tests I am closing in on the sky

Explanation

The excerpt contrasts how the speaker sees herself with how others see her: others say she has power and confidence, but she says she cannot see those qualities in herself. That directly supports the theme that her view of herself differs from other people’s view of her. The other excerpts focus on anxiety, avoiding conflict, or taking a test.
