I think what you're looking for is called "Personification"
Personification is where you give non-living objects human-ish looks or feelings, etc. For example take a look at Beauty and The Beast and its two main mascots the little clock guy and the candle. This is an example of personification. <span />
Answer:
clarify what she is seeing by naming it.
Explanation:
The question is related to the story entitled "Living Like Weasels" by <em>Annie Dillard. </em>It focuses on the connection between <u>human beings and weasels,</u> including their similarities.
The narrator was relaxing on a tree trunk when she spotted a weasel, thus the author used the exclamation "Weasel!" She wanted to clarify that it was indeed a weasel that the narrator was staring at because<u><em> she hasn't seen any weasel in the wild before.</em></u>
So, this explains the answer.
Driving in the winter and driving in the summer is very different. Of course, because of the weather, both could be convenient or not at the same time. In summer, the heat will be your enemy when driving. When driving in winter, the snow blocking the road could be your biggest hurdle.

My response would be:
The reader learns that the ice is very thin. They know this because in the phrase "It was early winter and the ice on the lake wasn’t thick enough to support the sled and team or I would have gone across the middle." It clearly states the ice wasn't thick enough to go across the lake. This prepares the reader for what happens in the story by foreshadowing the ice cracking later on in the story.
(I don't know if the ice will crack later on in the story though)
