Question

I wait anxiously

Feeling my stomach
A block of ice
Chipping away, melting
then freezing up again
Who can I follow?
Cuz I don’t want to lead

–"Escape,"
Theresa Hossfeld

How does the author’s use of the lines “Who can I follow? / Cuz I don’t want to lead” support the theme that a person can see herself differently than others see her?

It shows that she does not want to be first in her class.
It shows that she does not see herself as a leader.
It shows that she is against spelling rules.
It shows that nobody expects her to be a leader

Answer 1

Probably A.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because the words "Who can I follow? Cuz I don't want to lead" explain that she doesn't want to be the first one, and she uses "Who can I follow" as a way to express how she doesn't feel confident
