Answer: Question 1 ) Some people can find ways to stay positive under any circumstances
Question 2) “‘But I'm glad it’s not rainy today because it’s easier to be cheerful and bear up under affliction on a sunshiny day.’”
Explanation: Anne, is in indeed a kindred spirit. She's delightful and outgoing. Her loving nature and bold attitude makes her the light of the room. despite the odds she finds happiness and joy in most anything.
For question 2, Anne expresses her points of view on the mornings weather. Her babbling is actually just her being herself and voicing her own thoughts. This point of view shows, even on a rainy morning she can still find the joy others may lack in seeing.
Hope this is helpful :)
