What is a logical conclusion that can be drawn from the
description of setting in this passage from My Antonia?
When we reached the level and could see the gold tree-
tops, I pointed toward them, and Antonia laughed and
squeezed my hand as if to tell me how glad she was I had
come. We raced off toward Squaw Creek and did not stop
until the ground itself stopped - fell away before us so
abruptly that the next step would have been out into the
tree-tops. We stood panting on the edge of the ravine,
looking down at the trees and bushes that grew below us.
The wind was so strong that I had to hold my hat on, and
the girls' skirts were blown out before them. Antonia
seemed to like it; she held her little sister by the hand and
chattered away in that language which seemed to me
spoken so much more rapidly than mine. She looked at
me, her eyes fairly blazing with things she could not say.
The description shows how windy the prairie is, making
it hard for the children to stand.
The description signals a change in the relationship
between Antonia and the narrator:
The description shows that the prairie is a good place
for children to play
The description shows that the wind on the prairie is
dangerous
