How do the author's descriptions of the youth's
beliefs and those of his mother help build tension
in the Passage?
by showing how their thoughts are both similar
and different
by contrasting the naiveté of youth and the
wisdom of age
by proving that young people are always more
idealistic than their elders
by uncovering a hidden difference between young
and older people
it shows how younger people are more brainless and exploring when older people have wisdom and advice, it’s a build up in the story because it’s explaining the main topic and giving evidence of the difference
