Q1
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?
