Read the excerpt from I Never Had It Made.

I interrupted. "But it’s the box score that really counts—that and that alone, isn’t it?

"It’s all that ought to count," he replied. "But it isn’t. Maybe one of these days it will be all that counts. That is one of the reasons I’ve got you here, Robinson. If you’re a good enough man, we can make a start in the right direction. But let me tell you, it’s going to take an awful lot of courage."

What narrative technique does Robinson use in this excerpt to paint a picture for readers?

interesting dialogue
detailed descriptions

Answer:

interesting dialogue

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that a dialogue is a technique used by writers in which teo or more characters are engaged in a conversation with one another. In this case, it's between the narrator (we can know that because he uses "I interruped") and another character named Robinson. By using dialogues, the story becomes lively and enjoyable as it makes the reader feel part of the it, it's like witnessing it in real time. The conversations between characters can tell us a lot about their presonalities and purposes. By using dialogues and a narrative technique, we can know the inner thoughts of some characters and therefore their hidden motive as sometimes what they think doesn't match to what they say.

As you can see, here the author already gave us the name of one of the characters and has set up a problem.
