Read the excerpt from "Fern” in Cane.

Nothing ever really happened. Nothing ever came to Fern, not even I. Something I would do for her. Some fine unnamed thing. . . . And friend, you? She is still living, I have reason to know. Her name, against the chance that you might happen down that way, is Fernie May Rosen.

How does Toomer best create a tone of familiarity in this excerpt?

by repeating “ever” to create hyperbole
by referring to the reader as “friend” and “you”
by using the word “I” to signal a personal story
by including the proper name of “Fern”
