Since we learn that the aunt has a soft heart, I will say that 'this is an example of indirect characterization', because we learn of her characteristics in an indirect way, that is, we are not directly told that she has a soft heart, we can infer that information from this passage.
Fines and -----I think these are the words that go in the blank.
Hey there!
I know this question will get taken down sooner than later but it depends on what you call a "talent". Like, I can roll my tongue (which is pretty useless), can still scream higher-pitched than a opera singer (I'm 13 AND a male XD), I can whistle through my nose, and that's about it!
I'm always open to any questions or friend requests! :D
