A list of possible answers would help...?
<span>
I became, in short, the gangling farmer-boy my aunt had known, C. Scourged with chilblains and bashfulness, my hands cracked and raw from corn husking.
Scourge is something that causes suffering.</span>
Maybe something like this?
During a rain storm, skies emit lightning.
I think the one that learn the least is : The narrator's aunt. She kept making unreasonable accusation throughout the story. One of it was that she believed that the burglar has been coming to her house every night for the last 40 years. i might say that the one that learn the most would be the narrator himself.
Hope this helps
