Which personality trait does Dickon have the would make him at home at Buckingham palace or at the bottom of a coal mine?
Anarel [89]

The personality trait that would make Dickon feel at home at Buckingham Palace or at the bottom of a coal mine is that he is very likable.

It is mention trough the book that he has a strange ability to captivate everyone human or not since his ability also applies to animals, everywhere Dickon goes everyone just fell under his spell and find him lovable. We can see the quotation that says :

There really was a sort of Magic about Dickon, as Mary always privately believed. When Mr. Roach heard his name he smiled quite leniently.

“He’d be at home in Buckingham Palace or at the bottom of a coal mine,” he said. “And yet it’s not impudence, either. He’s just fine, is that lad.”

Consider the following quote. What do you think the author
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

At the story's conclusion, Dillard reveals that being chased made her happy in some ways. To quote Annie at the end of the book, "If in that snowy backyard, the driver of the black Buick had cut off our heads, Mikey’s and mine, I would have died happy." Dillard isn't telling her readers to be foolish for fun. The author says it's okay if you get in trouble occasionally because being happy says the author. Annie knew it was wrong to throw snowballs at passing cars, but she did it anyway. The author exaggerates the thrilling parts of the story. Dillard describes the three runners' many twists and turns to help readers understand Annie's exhilaration. Dillard ends the essay without explaining what the man does after calling the kids "foolish." The author shifts focus to how she felt rather than what the enraged businessman did. Annie Dillard writes for readers to relate to and learn from.
