Question

How does the narration affect Oskar’s credibility in this excerpt?

Answer 1

Below is the excerpt:

The average person falls asleep in seven minutes, but I couldn't sleep, not after hours, and it made my boots lighter to be around his things, and to touch stuff that he had touched, and to make the hangers hang a little straighter, even though I knew it didn't matter.

The answer is "His efforts to heal render him earnest and genuine."

Answer 2

The normal individual nods off in seven minutes, yet I couldn't rest, not Twilight, and it made my boots lighter to associate with his things, and to contact stuff that he had contacted, and to make the holders hang somewhat straighter, despite the fact that I realized it didn't matter.

His Greek and Roman references accentuate his intelligence. His clarification of a pendulum underscores his maturity. His affectionate memories stress his certified truthfulness.
