Answer:

"I remember that song, and it always makes me feel a little sad to hear it," I admitted to Rosie.

I knelt down next to the woman's dog and said, "He's a beautiful dog. What's his name?"

"You just say that because you're jealous," I said to Marty as I put my license back in my wallet.

Explanation:

The sentences that use description to develop the narrator's personality are the second, third, and fourth ones.

Story writers create and describe their characters in the process called characterization. There are two main types of characterization:

  • Direct characterization - the writer explicitly tells us about a character's traits.
  • Indirect characterization - we find out more about the character from their thoughts, actions, appearance, interaction with other characters, etc.

The given sentences are examples of indirect characterization. We find out more about the narrator's personality from their interaction with other characters. The rest of the sentences don't contribute to the description of their personality, which is why they're incorrect options.

What happened in My Name is Parvana Chapter 6?
erma4kov [3.2K]
The next day, Mrs. Weera, Mother, and Nooria tell Parvana their plan: they’ll turn Parvana into a boy. Posing as their male cousin from Jalalabad, Parvana will be able to work and shop in the market. Nooria nastily says that no one will ask about Parvana, but Parvana knows it’s true—none of her friends have seen her since the Taliban closed the schools, and her relatives are scattered. Mother’s voice catches as she says that Parvana will wear Hossain’s clothes. Parvana says this won’t work since she has long hair, but Nooria pulls out the sewing kit and snaps the scissors open and closed. Parvana shrieks that they can’t cut her hair. She says they can cut Nooria’s hair, since Nooria is the oldest and it’s Nooria’s responsibility to look after her, but Nooria looks at her adult body and points out that no one will believe she’s a boy.
The suggestion that Parvana allow the adults to turn her into a boy is offensive to Parvana because in her mind, it means giving up everything she knows and loves about herself. Even if her hair isn’t as beautiful as Nooria’s, it’s still something that makes Parvana who she is. Further, the frantic suggestion that Nooria turn into a boy instead reveals that Parvana believes this is too much to ask. And indeed, it’s a lot of responsibility to place on an 11-year-old. But given the circumstances, there’s little else the family can do to make ends meet.

Parvana snaps that she’ll be curvy soon, but Mother heads off the fight by saying they’ll deal with that later. For now, the fact remains that Parvana is the only one who can play the part. Mrs. Weera says that this has to be Parvana’s decision. They can force her to cut her hair, but Parvana has to be willing and able to play the part in the market. Realizing that Mrs. Weera is right, Parvana agrees. Knowing it’s her choice makes it easier. Nooria announces that she’ll cut Parvana’s hair, but Mother takes the scissors and Hossain’s clothes and leads Parvana into the washroom. Parvana watches in the mirror as Mother cuts her hair off at her neck. Mother holds the chunk up and suggests they keep it tied with a ribbon, but Parvana refuses. Her hair doesn’t seem important anymore.
Mrs. Weera’s ability to present this to Parvana as a choice helps Parvana see that she does have a choice—and if she chooses not to play along, the fact remains that her family will starve. Knowing this, the choice becomes clear. And with that choice, the lopped-off hair comes to represent a younger, more immature version of Parvana. Cutting off her hair helps Parvana see that she can mold herself to become the kind of person she wants to be—and her willingness to agree to the plan suggests she wants to be someone who cares for her family and makes the necessary sacrifices to do so.

Mother continues to cut. Parvana starts to feel like a different person as her forehead gets bigger and her ears stick out. Her hair curls, and the short cut makes her eyes look bigger. Parvana decides she has a nice face. When Mother announces that she’s done, she leaves Parvana alone to change. Parvana rubs her hands over her head and decides she likes it. She pulls on Hossain’s pale green shalwar kameez. Though the trousers are too long, if she rolls them up they fit okay. The shirt has pockets, which is a nice change from girls’ clothes. When Mother asks if Parvana is finished, Parvana steps out. Maryam looks confused until she realizes it’s Parvana. Mother says “Hossain” and looks ready to cry, so Nooria insults Parvana as a distraction.
Simply experiencing what it’s like to wear boys’ clothes gives Parvana a sense of what’s possible now that people don’t see her as a girl. With pockets, she can carry money, candy, or whatever small items she finds—something she couldn’t do before. This gives her more control over how she conducts her life. It’s also telling that it’s only once her hair is gone that Parvana decides she has a nice face. This suggests that her hair and the immaturity it represented is what was holding her back before.

Mother hands Parvana a white cap with beautiful embroidery, gives Parvana money and a scarf, and then sends her out. Parvana reaches for her chador, but Nooria reminds her she won’t need it. Suddenly terrified that someone will recognize her, Parvana pleads with Mother to not force her to go out. Nooria nastily accuses Parvana of being scared, but Parvana spits that it’s easy to call her scared when Nooria is safe inside. Parvana slams the door on her way out.

When you are feeling nervous, try pressing your thumb a hand’s width below your collarbone on the right side of your chest. Vibr
maksim [4K]

Acupuncture points are considered to be a very sensitive part of the body. Some people believe that putting pressure on the points of acupuncture in our body can relieve pain, restore balance and improve overall health.

Human touch and tissue massage have great benefits, but reflexology and acupressure are not well-studied methods.

More scientific research is needed to prove the advertised health benefits, but many are experiencing the ability to relieve limited side effects and pain and promote relaxation. Let's take a look at the points of acupuncture and moxibustion.

The base of the tip of the thumb is on the wrist. Move one finger over your thumb to the crease in your wrist at the base of your thumb. It is believed that applying gentle pressure and massaging this point with your fingers will help relieve airway and breathing problems.
