Hi, teachers. I would appreciate your time.
On way home from the hospital, Anna, riding shotgun, looks calmly out the window, indifferent to the sight of/seeing her dad like that.
A couple of questions:
- the sight of or seeing?
- Does indifferent work here?
- Is indifferent interchangeable with unaffected?
- Is the sentence otherwise correct?
Thanks.
anonymous - the sight of or seeing? Both are possible. I'd go with 'seeing'.
