The chosen text belongs to the book "Sense and sensibility" written by Jane Austen. The main characters in the book are the sisters Elinor and Marianne. In the chosen text Marianne after being extremely sad, activates her sister Elinor's curiosity, in knowing what made her so melancholy. Because of this, Elinor is worried about her sister and asks her mother to ask what happened, so that they can help her to be happy again.

Evidence of the text that can prove Elinor's concern comes from the excerpt: “Why do you not ask Marianne at once [said Elinor to Mrs. Dashwood] whether she is or is not engaged to Willoughby? From you, her mother, and so kind, so indulgent a mother, the question could not give offence. It would be the natural result of your affection for her…. ”

My personal connection with the text comes from the empathy between the two sisters. Elinor did not know the reason that had made Marianne so sad, but she knew that this reason originated in a loving disappointment and although that disappointment did not reach Elinor, she felt empathy and did not want her sister to suffer, on the contrary she was worried and wanted to help. Concern among the sisters is common in my environment which makes me identify and have a certain attachment to the text.
