16 RL-EVIDENCE performance 4 Jay's reaction isn't just one thing, it's kind of all over the place, and you have to look at different parts of the story together. At the beginning, he's in his room organizing his video games by release date, and the narrator says it's something he does when he's stressed but also that it makes him feel like things are under control. So when his parents sit him down and tell him about the move, he just nods and goes right back to the games, like nothing happened. You might think he's fine with it, but then later, when his little sister starts crying, he yells at her to stop being a baby, which seems out of nowhere. That outburst only makes sense if you remember the earlier stuff about control—his calmness wasn't real calmness, it was a way of holding it together. By the time he's packing his own box, he keeps folding the same shirt over and over, and the description is like "he smoothed the fabric like he could—" and then it's basically about him trying to press out all the wrinkles that wouldn't go away. That echoes the video game thing; he's still trying to control something small because he can't control the big thing. The move forces him to deal with a situation where his usual coping method doesn't actually work, so his reactions seem contradictory but they're all part of the same pattern once you see the connection. After reading the short story "Packing Boxes" by Lila Chen, students were asked to write a paragraph explaining how the protagonist, Jay, reacts to the news that his family is moving across the country. Use at least one piece of evidence from the text. paraphrase_heavy 1 2026-05-26 02:58:24
