Which lines best represent the exposition of this poem?
Before a drugstore. We/ Entered, the tiny bell/ Bringing a saleslady/ Down a narrow aisle of goods./ I turned to the candies/ Tiered like bleachers,
The first time I walked/ With a girl, I was twelve, Cold, and weighted down/ With two oranges in my jacket./ December. Frost cracking
I took my girl's hand/ in mine for two blocks,/ Then released it to let/ Her unwrap the chocolate.
I fingered/ A nickel in my pocket,/ And when she lifted a chocolate/ That cost a dime,/ I didn't say anything.

Which lines best show the point of view from which the story is told?
I fingered/ A nickel in my pocket,/ And when she lifted a chocolate/ That cost a dime,/ I didn't say anything.
Outside,/ A few cars hissing past,/ Fog hanging like old/ Coats between the trees.
Light in her eyes, a smile/ Starting at the corners/ Of her mouth.
She came out pulling/ At her gloves, face bright/ With rouge.

Which lines best indicate the conflict in the poem?
December./ Frost cracking/ Beneath my steps, my breath/ Before me, then gone,
I fingered/ A nickel in my pocket,/ And when she lifted a chocolate/ That cost a dime,/ I didn't say anything.
I peeled my orange/ That was so bright against/ The gray of December/ That, from some distance,/ Someone might have thought/ I was making a fire in my hands.
The first time I walked/ With a girl, I was twelve,/ Cold, and weighted down/ With two oranges in my jacket.
