This tone reflects how Hazel is a character that changes throughout the short story. For example, when Mary Louise asks Hazel if she was going to sign up for the May Day race, Hazel replies with the defensive internal comment, “A dumb question like that doesn’t deserve an answer.” Furthermore, when Mr. Pearson calls Hazel by her nickname Squeaky, she also replies with another internal comment, “he’s got no right to call me Squeaky, if I can’t call him Beanstalk.” This harsh and matter-of-fact tone changes near the end of the story when Hazel thinks to herself, “Squeaky…
