To determine how the raven's comment affects Lala, we need to analyze the text in paragraph 12. The paragraph may provide hints or clues that can help us understand the impact of the raven's comment on Lala.
One approach is to identify keywords or phrases in paragraph 12 that relate to Lala's reaction. It's also important to consider any tone or emotions conveyed by the description of Lala's behavior or thoughts.
Let's read paragraph 12 and identify relevant details:
"In response, the child thrust her plate, with the custard, at the bird. Whether or not Lala remembered that her plan was to use the custard as ' bait' in order to keep the raven near her was not clear. All that matters is that the raven visited Lala daily, and there was always the left-over custard on her plate to catch his interest."
Based on this description, it becomes evident that the raven's comment affects Lala in a specific way. It reminds Lala that she can use her custard as incentive to attract the raven's attention and keep it close. This implies that Lala sees an opportunity to use the custard to her advantage.
