C. Wash's school reminds me of the detention center in the book Holes.

In a text-to-text connection the reader makes a connection between one published text and another published text. In option C, the student is making a connection between "We've Got a Job: The 1963 Children's March" and the novel Holes. Another type of connection is text-to-self as in when the student makes a connection between the text and the camp counselor he once had. Options B and D are text-to-world connections because the student connects the text to something else in the world.
