What is a character's perspective?
A. their personality traits and characteristics
B. the way they interact with other characters
C. their opinion or feeling about an event or topic
D. the way they change throughout a play or story
Character's perspective is their opinion or feeling about an event or topic. Thus, the correct option is C.
What is character?A character in fiction is a person or other object that appears in a story. The distinction between a "real" and "fictional" character may be made depending on whether the character is wholly imaginary or is based on a real-life person.
A type is a person who serves as an example of a particular class or group of people. Both generic characters and completely customized ones fall under the category of types.
In fiction writing, authors use a variety of techniques to develop dynamic characters. Characters are occasionally conjured from imagination; other times, they are developed by enhancing a genuine person's character attribute into a fresh fictional creation.
The person they know, a historical figure, a current figure they haven't met, or even oneself might be used by an author or creator to base a character on a real person. The latter is either an author-surrogate or an example of self-insertion.

Which quotations from the text help to convey a despairing tone?
Select each correct answer.
"People who live on hills sleep so close to the stars they forget those of us who live too much on earth. They don’t look down at all except to be content to live on hills."
"Rafaela leans out the window and leans on her elbow and dreams her hair is like Rapunzel’s. On the corner there is music from the bar, and Rafaela wishes she could go there and dance before she gets old."
"Some days after dinner, guests and I will sit in front of a fire. Floorboards will squeak upstairs. The attic grumble. Rats? they’ll ask. Bums, I’ll say, and I’ll be happy."
"Marin, under the streetlight, dancing by herself, is singing the same song somewhere. I know. Is waiting for a car to stop, a star to fall, someone to change her life."
"Minerva is only a little bit older than me but already she has two kids and a husband who left. Her mother raised her kids alone and it looks like her daughters will go that way too."
The last two options show sentences where the desperation tone of the story is highlighted.
The sentences are:
"Marin, under the streetlight, dancing by herself, is singing the same song somewhere. I know. Is waiting for a car to stop, a star to fall, someone to change her life.""Minerva is only a little bit older than me but already she has two kids and a husband who left. Her mother raised her kids alone and it looks like her daughters will go that way too."What is the tone of a story?The tone is the feeling conveyed from the text to the reader. In the sentences selected above, we can see Marin being desperate with her situation, to the point of staying on the streets hoping that anything will happen and change the way she lives.
This can also be seen in the sentence where the narrator shows how families cannot get rid of unpleasant situations due to a lack of resources and opportunities, causing daughters to have the same difficult life as their mothers and to be trapped in these uncomfortable and desperate situations.

Answer:
There is very little empirical work on the experiences research participants have engaging in qualitative inquiry; yet, qualitative researchers often think of themselves as forging critical relationships with their participants. It seems that perhaps the actual experiences of participants in the research process are being taken largely for granted. I want to problematize research participants being taken for granted. In this article, I analyze the existing literature and report on insights from my own experience as a participant in two interview studies. The article offers insights regarding participant experiences that are not well captured in the existing literature.
