1. What does the daughter mean when she says, "I have tested myself against her speed, my younger cousins’ endurance"? What does this show about her character?

Answer 1

This shows that the character is very fast and that she likes challenges.

Why does the sentence have this meaning?

• The narrator states that she likes to run.
• The narrator shows that she can be as fast as her dog.
• The narrator shows that she challenged her cousins to a race.
• The narrator wanted to see if her cousins were as resilient and agile as she was.

The sentence shows how the narrator likes to challenge herself. That's because she decided to challenge her cousins to a race, testing both her cousins and herself.

In this case, we can say that this sentence is a form of indirect characterization, since it shows a characteristic of the character, by presenting her way of thinking and acting.
