In the following original drama excerpt, attend to how the playwright uses overlapping speech to control perspective. [A crowded family dining room. Plates clatter.] AUNT: More potatoes? MILES: No, thank you. DAD: You're too thin. MOM: He's fine. [MILES begins to speak, but the adults continue over him.] MILES (to the audience, as the others talk): Watch: I'll disappear in a room full of my own name. DAD: Miles, you listening? MILES (aloud): Yes. MILES (to the audience): That word is my best trick. Which choice best explains the function of the perspective created by MILES's "to the audience" lines amid the overlapping dialogue?
