Question 1

1.

Read the following passage:"...Dill was becoming something of a trial anyway, following Jem about. He had asked me earlier in the summer to marry him, then he promptly forgot about it. He staked me out, marked as his property, said I was the only girl he would ever love, then he neglected me. I beat him up twice but it did no good, he only grew closer to Jem." What emotion is Scout really displaying here? How does Scout handle this mix of emotions?
