Read the excerpt from "american history." in august, eugene and his family had moved into the only house on the block that had a yard and trees. i could see his place from my window in el building. in fact, if i sat on the fire escape i was literally suspended above eugene’s backyard. it was my favorite spot to read my library books in the summer. until that august the house had been occupied by an old jewish couple. over the years i had become part of their family, without their knowing it, of course. i had a view of their kitchen and their backyard, and though i could not hear what they said, i knew when they were arguing, when one of them was sick, and many other things. i knew all this by watching them at mealtimes. i could see their kitchen table, the sink and the stove. how does the setting of the passage affect the narrator’s connection to the people in the house? it causes the narrator to become friends with them because they live close by. it causes the narrator to learn their secrets by overhearing their conversations. it causes the narrator to help them when they have problems. it causes the narrator to feel like she knows them because she sees inside their home.
