A descriptive passage that might reveal more information about Silas could be the following;
<span>"Strangely Marner’s face and figure shrank and bent themselves into a constant mechanical relation to the objects of his life, so that he produced the same sort of impression as a handle or a crooked tube, which has no meaning standing apart. The prominent eyes that used to look trusting and dreamy, now looked as if they had been made to see only one kind of thing that was very small, like tiny grain, for which they hunted everywhere; and he was so withered and yellow, that, though he was not yet forty, the children always called him “Old Master Marner.” (chapter 2)

Explanation:
"The Girl Who Threw Butterflies" is a novel written by Mick Cochrane. The novel is about a young girl named Molly Williams, an eighth-grader, who has lost her father in a car accident.
Molly doesn't want to be seen with sympathetic eyes by people, conveying the message "Oh! Poor girl, she has lost her father", rather she wanted to be known more than that. Molly with this desire in her heart joins the boys' baseball team. The theme of the novel is self-confidence and self-trust. This theme is evident when Molly tries to persuade her mother and everyone that she can play and compete with the boys in the baseball team. But her mother was unsure if she could play baseball with boys. Another evidence is when Molly tries to get into the boys' baseball team and her trial was taken, every boy thought that Molly won't be able to make it up to the team and that she can only play <em>girls softball. </em>But in Chapter 13 we can see that how Molly was able to make herself a place in the team and was selected.
<em>"She took a deep breath and then looked. There it was, at the very bottom of the list, the very last name: Molly Williams."</em>

The happiest day of my life is the day when my elder brother graduated from the IIT, Delhi. One would wonder why and how should that event make me so very happy, that, I earmark it as the happiest day of my life. Yes, I call this day as the happiest day of my life up to now as, that day gave me a lot physically, mentally, and even financially. My elder brother is ten years senior to me and, I was still in the Seventh Standard last year when my brother passed out of the HT, Delhi, completing his graduation in Engineering. His result was announced in May. It was the 17th of May I remember, as, it was also the first day of my summer vacations. I was all set and relaxed for the long summer vacation when this happiest day came.
