Which excerpt from “how i learned english” uses the first-person point of view to show that the main character feels out of place in his new environment? it was in an empty lot ringed by elms and fir and honeysuckle. bill corson was pitching in his buckskin jacket, unnatural and without any moves, my notions of baseball and america growing fuzzier each time i whiffed i watched it closing in clean and untouched, transfixed by its easy arc before it hit there was a wild stamping of hands on the ground, a kicking of feet, and the fit of laughter overtook me too,

The right answer is

“Unnatural and without any moves,

My notions of baseball and America

Growing fuzzier each time I whiffed”.

This excerpt best reflects how the character feels out of place in the environment he is in.

Explanation:

The poem talks about a guy who is trying to learn English and all the people he was around with were "writhing int he ground for one reason or another". His friends were laughing at his use of English and, after taking in the pain, he too was laughing. His reaction is important because he learned English by making mistakes and being ok with it. We can see how the author uses first person to narrate the poem to share directly what the main character is thinking and feeling.  

The right answer is

“Unnatural and without any moves,

My notions of baseball and America

Growing fuzzier each time I whiffed”.

This excerpt best reflects how the character feels out of place in the environment he is in.

it’s anchored in a powerful related location

in most cases, you can’t handpick the spot to give a presentation, as mlk did for supreme symbolic effect when he stood on the steps of the lincoln memorial and echoed the opening words of the gettysburg address (“five score years ago . . ). but you absolutely can amplify your message by adapting it to your setting and location.
