00:10

carroll and asserts a connection between these experiences and his

00:14

literary work How does the author reached these conclusions using

00:18

to details from the passage evaluate the author's support for

00:20

these arguments Let's see How about if we say The

00:28

author says that the influence of carol's mother can be
