Which of the following best describes the author's purpose in the passage?
Excerpt from The Art of Singing
Luisa Tetrazzint, the most famous Italian coloratura soprano of the day, declares that she began to sing before she learned to talk. Her parents were not musical, but her elder sister, now the
wife of the eminent conductor Cleofante Campanini, was a public singer of established reputation, and her success roused her young sister's ambition to become a great artist. Her parents
were well to do, her father having a large army furnishing store in Florence, and they did not encourage her in her determination to become a prima donna. One prima donna, said her father,
was enough for any family.
Luisa did not agree with him. If one prima donna is good, she argued, why would not two be better? So she never desisted from her importunity until she was permitted to become a pupil of
Professor Coccherani, vocal Instructor at the Lycée. At this time she had committed memory more than a dozen grand opera roles, and at the end of six months the professor confessed that
he could do nothing more for her voice; that she was ready for a career.

What does Alfonso do in this passage?
What is Alfonso's reason for his actions?
Alfonso sat on the porch trying to push his crooked teeth
to where he thought they belonged. He hated the way he
looked. Last week he did fifty sit-ups a day, thinking that
he would burn those already apparent ripples on his
stomach to even deeper ripples, dark ones, so when he
went swimming at the canal next summer, girls in cut-
offs would notice. And the guys would think he was
tough, someone who could take a punch and give it back.
