Since he was a…

In Confetti Girl, the narrator's perspective about her dad and his intentions creates tension when she shows him sarcasm. Since the dad is an English teacher, he was curious about her own English class and it became the topic of the conversation. He began to teach her about prefixes; the narrator clearly feels annoyed with her dad when she…
