Why did Isaac suddenly respond in a positive way to Rocky's questions? What can we infer made Isaac suddenly change his reaction to Rocky? Passage: Isaac didn't want to sit by the new kid. He'd rather sit all by himself. He didn't want to make any friends. After the teacher handed out the assignments, the new kid leaned over,"Hey, my name is Rocky." Isaac didn't look up from his textbook. Rocky didn't take Isaac's silence personally. Instead, he stole a glance at the notebook on which Isaac was drawing. Rocky noticed that Isaac was drawing a guitar with skulls on it. Rocky asked politely,"Who's your favorite band?" Isaac ignored him. Rocky continued, "My favorite band is The Lords of Death." Isaac looked up at him for the first time. "Hello, Rocky, my name is Isaac. I believe that we are going to be great friends."

Isaac responded suddenly because of the similarity of choices between the two about the bands or maybe because of the constant efforts made by Rocky to talk to Isaac.

Explanation:

The passage talks about two people whose names are Isaac and Rocky. In the passage, the author talks about the efforts made by Rocky to talk to Isaac and get to know him.

Isaac did not pay attention to any of the efforts made by Rocky but all of a sudden, he paid attention and decided to answer Rocky's questions. The response made suddenly could have been because of the similar choices of Rocky and Isaac for the musical bands. It might also have been because of the efforts made by Rocky.
