Read the passage.

When I got to my cabin at camp, the other campers showered me with a chorus of greetings. "I’m Alex,” the red-headed boy closest to me said. "Javier,” called the boy with the glasses sitting next to him. "Miguel,” waved the boy in the corner. He was sitting surrounded by a pile of comic books. A fourth boy, taller than the rest, walked up and shook my hand. "I’m Asher. Grab a bunk.”
