Question 2

Beyond the taped line

Original non-fiction-style practice text.

At the flower show, a strip of tape marked where visitors could stand to photograph the prize arrangement. A volunteer explained that it kept people from knocking the table. That seemed sensible. Then another volunteer asked a child to move because her picture would not show the arrangement's best angle.

I like a well-composed photograph. I do not need a public event to prescribe one for me. A child looking from below may discover a shape which the judge's official view misses. Even an awkward picture can record what interested its maker.

Keep the line if it protects the flowers. Please stop treating it as the border between a correct response and a wrong one. We came to see an arrangement, not to prove that all our eyes occupy the same height.

Assess the writer’s attitude towards the photographer’s taped viewing line. Use three details from the text to support your answer.
