Read lines 6-16 of "A Voice".
Not you. In your house that smelled like rose powder, you spoke Spanish formal as your father, the judge without a courtroom in the country he floated to in the dark on a flatbed truck. He walked slow as a hot river down the narrow hall of your house. You never dared to race past him, to say, “Please move,” in the language you learned effortlessly, as you learned to run, the language forbidden at home, though your mother said you learned it to fight with the neighbors.
Based on these lines what can the reader infer about the person referred to as you in “A Voice”?
She hates her father.
She is worried about her father.
She wishes she had a different father.
She feels serious and respectful around her father.
