Andrew even explains why it will be particularly difficult in this case: the two brothers have a special bond ("you and I ain’t like most brothers ... we’ve always been together"). The stage directions also indicate how moved the characters are about this departure ("with feeling"), and so does the punctuation, with exclamation marks and short sentences which usually express emotion ("Andy—believe that!").
- It is precisely this emphasis on the family bond that shows how much Robert's dream is important to him, because he is willing to suffer through separation to fulfill his desire to travel the world: "I hate to leave you and the old folks—but—I feel I’ve got to. There’s something calling me."
social, talkative, loud, outgoing
Any of these words would work as synonyms to gregarious. The antonym clues from the sentences are "quiet and shy". The sentences describe Mateo as gregarious AND the opposite of his brother. Since his brother is described as "quiet and shy", we know that Mateo is the opposite of quiet and shy. Loud and outgoing are the direct opposites of quiet and shy, but there are many other words that can mean the same thing.
