Read this excerpt from “The Inside Search” by Zora Neale Hurston.

The next day I received an Episcopal hymn-book bound in white leather with a golden cross stamped into the front cover, a copy of The Swiss Family Robinson, and a book of fairy tales. I set about to commit the song words to memory. There was no music written there, just the words. But there was to my consciousness music in between them just the same. “When I survey the Wondrous Cross” seemed the most beautiful to me, so I committed that to memory first of all. Some of them seemed dull and without life, and I pretended they were not there. If white people liked trashy singing like that, there must be something funny about them that I had not noticed before. I stuck to the pretty ones where the words marched to a throb I could feel.

Which viewpoint does Hurston convey in the excerpt?
Responses

She feels that she needs to pay more attention to white people and their actions.

She thinks the songs white people enjoy shows that they have no taste.

She is moved by the words in the hymn-book, and they create music for her.

She becomes curious about why the hymn-books don’t include the music to the hymns.
