made about the narrator's father?
Read this passage from Dragonwings by Laurence Yep.
Only once during all those trips did we have any trouble.
Some demon boys were out in the street. They stooped as if
to pick up things to throw, and Father whispered to me to sit
up straight and not show I was afraid. The demon boys
called out some things, but we ignored them until we had
passed them by. A rock whizzed by my ear and hit Red
Rabbit in the side. He snorted, but plodded on as steadily as
before.
He is too afraid to stand up to the "demon" boys.
He is strong and confident even in times of trouble.
He is unaware of the trouble caused by the boys.
He is more concerned about looking brave than being
safe.
