【문15】다음 글에 나타난 필자의 심경 변화로 가장 적절한 것은? 17 법원

I was always mad at Charles even though I couldn't

ever put my finger on exactly what he was doing to

make me angry. Charles was just one of those people

who rubbed me the wrong way. Yet, I was constantly

upset. When we began looking at anger in this class,

I thought, "What's my primary feeling about Charles?"

I almost hate to admit what I found out because it

makes me look like I'm a lot more insecure than I

feel I really am, but my primary feeling was fear. I

was afraid that Charles with his brilliance and sharp

tongue was going to make me look stupid in front of

the other students. Last week I asked him to stay

after class and I just told him how threatened I get

when he pins me down on some minor point. He was

kind of stunned, and said he wasn't trying to make

me look bad, that he was really trying to score

brownie points with me. We ended up laughing about

it and I'm not threatened by him anymore. When he

forgets and pins me down now, I just laugh and say,

“Hey, that's another brownie point for you.”
