<em>Based on the character of Rosa, the reader can infer of the author’s unstated meaning that the author wants the reader to admire Rosa’s selflessness.

We are referring to an excerpt of <em>“Saving the Thrift Store: A Drama</em>”, written by Lee Washington.
In the excerpt, Rosa is having a dialogue with Louis and Eddie. Rosa says “It is a shame that I am the youngest in my family, since I’d be happy to pass my old clothes to kids who wanted them”. She listens to her friends and she adds “That thrift store had a great selection of inexpensive clothes. Postponing a reopening is bad for the families that rely on that store.”
When reading those excerpts, based on the character of Rosa, the reader can infer of the author’s unstated meaning that the author wants the reader to admire Rosa’s selflessness.
