Question must be answered based on the following text.



I hope that nobody has ever had to look at anybody they love through glass.


And I didn't say it the way I meant to say it. I meant to say it in a very offhand way, so he wouldn't be too upset, so he'd understand that I was saying it without any kind of accusation in my heart.


You see: I know him. He's very proud, and he worries a lot, and, when I think about it, I know--he doesn't--that that's the biggest reason he's in jail. He worries too much already, I don't want him to worry about me. In fact, I didn't want to say what I had to say. But I knew I had to say it. He had to know.


And I thought, too, that when he got over being worried, when he was lying by himself at night, when he was all by himself, in the very deepest part of himself, maybe, when he thought about it, he'd be glad. And that might help him.


I said, "Alonzo, we're going to have a baby."


I looked at him. I know I smiled. His face looked as though it were plunging into water. I couldn't touch him. I wanted so to touch him. I smiled again and my hands got wet on the phone and then for a moment I couldn't see him at all and I shook my head and my face was wet and I said, "I'm glad. I'm glad. Don't you worry. I'm glad."


Adapted from: BALDWIN, James. If Beale Street Could Talk (2006). Available at: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.ca/books/7744/if-beale-street-could-talk-by-james-baldwin/9780307275936/excerpt

In the novel If Beale Street Could Talk, James Baldwin creates a first-person narrator to denounce, among other things, the structural racism that characterizes the U.S. prison system. Analyzing the lexical and grammatical resources present in the excerpt, it is correct to state that: 

  • The use of possessive pronouns such as “my hands” and “my head” supports the idea of a first-person narrator recounting her experience of being pregnant.
  • The use of the possessive adjective him in “You see: I know him” demonstrates the dialogic nature of the text, a device employed in narrative genres such as the novel.
  • In the sentence “I looked at him. I know I smiled. His face looked as though it were plunging into water,” one can identify the use of personal and object pronouns, and a possessive adjective.
  • The absence of reflexive pronouns in the text indicates that all actions occur from the narrator’s point of view, leaving no room for interpretations outside the context.
  • In the sentence “I hope that nobody has ever had to look at anybody they love through glass,” the personal pronoun “they” lacks an explicitly stated referent in the text.
