The phone rings far away . I ignore it . I left the radio playing in the other room but I can barely hear it . At a muffled distance from the day 's upsetting political and economic news I feel isolated , alone , silenced .
What is the narrator 's view of politics and the news ?
- None of the above choices .
 - They feel it is uplifting .
 - They feel it is depressing .
 - They feel it is vital .


They feel it is depressing .
