WELL, I got a good going-over in the morning from old Miss Watson on account of my clothes; but the widow she didn’t scold, but only cleaned off the grease and clay, and looked so sorry that I thought I would behave awhile if I could. Then Miss Watson she took me in the closet and prayed, but nothing come of it. She told me to pray every day, and whatever I asked for I would get it. But it warn’t so. I tried it. Once I got a fish-line, but no hooks. It warn’t any good to me without hooks. I tried for the hooks three or four times, but somehow I couldn’t make it work. By and by, one day, I asked Miss Watson to try for me, but she said I was a fool. She never told me why, and I couldn’t make it out no way.

Question

Read the passage above. In your own words, describe what we can infer about the type of person Miss Watson is IN AT LEAST 5 SENTENCES

Answer 1

Based on the passage, we can infer that Miss Watson is a strict and possibly religious authority figure who is concerned about the protagonist's appearance and behavior. She scolds the protagonist for their clothes and urges them to pray, believing that it will fulfill their wishes. However, it is suggested that Miss Watson may not fully believe in the power of prayer herself, as she dismisses the protagonist's request for fish hooks. Despite her attempts to guide the protagonist, her actions and lack of explanation leave the protagonist confused and puzzled.
