A Hero With Heart

The author's purpose in the first paragraph is to make the reader

• wonder why Ana no longer lives where she was born

• interested in learning about Peru

• Think about taking a vacation

• none of these

We know from Ana's own words that she is the kind of person who

• can be very discouraging

• does not think too deeply about things

• likes to have a good time

• sympathizes with others

The author includes the amount of money that Peruvian Hearts raised to

• show that the organization did not raise enough

• encourage the reader to contribute to the cause

• show that one person can make a big difference

• explain how expensive chicken coops are

Using the word "haunted" to describe Ana's memory of the orphanages she visited gives the impression that

• she couldn't forget the kids

• she had bad dreams at night

• an orphanage seemed like heaven to her

• Ana felt like a ghost while visiting Peru.

How is Ana a hero?
