The following excerpt is from “Hitting Trees with Sticks” by Jane Rogers (published in 2010). In this passage, the speaker, an older woman named Celia Benson, arrives home from an outing. She has just walked by two children at play, one of whom is methodically hitting a tree with a stick. Read the passage carefully. Write a paragraph in which you make a defensible claim regarding how Rogers uses a first-person point of view to express Celia’s complex perspective. In your paragraph, you should incorporate at least one piece of evidence from the text to support your claim.

In the first paragraph of the passage itself, Jane Rogers helps the readers understand Celia's complex perspectives through the words "Hitting trees makes me think of the way they sometimes feed remains of animals to the same species - pigs, for example.".

Throughout the passage, Jane makes sure that the words are being spoken by Celia herself and the conversations she has with herself help the readers understand that the author uses first person point of view.

The paragraph required by the question above, you want to assess your writing ability and the way you understand a narration with a first-person point of view. For that reason, I can't write the paragraph for you, but I'll show you how to write it.

Firstly, it is important that you understand that the first-person point of view is seen in narrations where the narrator is a character in the story and presents the happenings according to what he or she saw and participated.

This type of narrator lets you know everything he or she knows and understand his/her feelings and thoughts. In this type of narration, you will be able to notice the use of the pronouns "I," "my" and "mine," which reinforces the idea that you will read the narrator's experiences within the story.

Therefore, to write the paragraph requested in the question above, you must:

Read the entire text.
Identify who the narrator is.
Identify the actions the narrator is doing.
Identify the reasons that make the narrator promote these actions.

These reasons will be listed within the narration, where the narrator will present his or her deepest thoughts, allowing you to understand the way this character acts.
