Why was the family proud of the subject in A Voice?

(This is going to be long)
[1] I have been studying the French language, with
some consistency, for three years. This field of
study has been, all at once, the hardest and most
rewarding of my life. I would put it above the
study of writing simply because I started writing
as a 6-year-old boy under my mother’s tutelage.1
I
always “felt” I could write. I did not always “feel” I
could effectively study a foreign language.
But here I am, right now, in a Montreal hotel. I
spoke French at the border. I spoke French when
I checked in. I spoke French when I went to get
lunch. I don’t really believe in fluency.2
If there is
such a thing, I don’t have it. I mishear words. I
confuse tenses. I can’t really use the subjunctive. Yet.
Something has happened to me and the something is this — I have gotten better. I don’t know when I
first felt it. I didn’t feel it this summer at Middlebury,3

despite the difference in my entrance and exit
scores. I didn’t feel it when I first arrived in Paris in January. I felt, as I always feel, like I was stumbling
around in the dark. I still feel like that. But I also feel like I am getting better at stumbling.
I am emphasizing how I “feel” because, when studying, it is as important as any objective4
reality.

Hopelessness feeds the fatigue5

that leads the student to quit. It is not the study of language that is
hard, so much as the “feeling” that your present level is who you are and who you will always be. I
remember returning from France at the end of the summer of 2013, and being convinced that I had
some kind of brain injury which prevented me from hearing French vowel sounds. But the real enemy
was not any injury so much as the “feeling” of despair. That is why I ignore all the research about
children and their language advantage. I don’t want to hear it. I just don’t care. As Carolyn Forché
would say — “I’m going to have it.”

[5] To “have it,” I must manage my emotional health. Part of that long-term management — beyond
French — is giving myself an opportunity to get better at difficult things. There is absolutely nothing in
this world like the feeling of sucking at something and then improving at it. Everyone should do it every
ten years or so.
I don’t know what comes after this. I have said this before, and will say it again: Studying French is like
setting in a canoe from California to China. You arrive on the coast of Hawaii and think, “Wow that was
really far.” And then you realize that China is still so very far away. “Feelings” come and go. Likely,
someone will say something — in the next hour or so — which I do not understand and I will feel a little
hopeless again. But right now, I feel high. And one must savor those moments of feeling high, because
they are not the norm. The lows are the norm. The Struggle is the norm. May it ever be thus.

Nights and Dragons— From the memoir of author Abigail Prynne

1 I sit at my desk listening to thunder growl outside my window. Flashes of light burst through the darkness, and wind races past my window. The thrilling combination of sight and sound conjures up visions of dragons roaring proudly, breathing fire, and soaring across the midnight sky. Dragons first fascinated me when I was a little girl. They have followed me ever since. The magnificent creatures appeared in storybooks I read in the library, paintings I saw in museums, movies I watched in the theater, and the dreams I had in my sleep. By the time I was thirteen, one question consumed me. I wanted to know if dragons ever existed, so I set out on a quest for facts.

2 As I started my research, I discovered many skeptics. Scientists presented evidence to show why dragons could not—and did not—exist. They explained that it would be impossible for dragons to fly because they would be too big. They laughed at the idea of dragons breathing fire. They pointed out that no other animal has ever done this. They said that if dragons had lived, someone would have found remains somewhere in the world. No bones about it, there were plenty of logical explanations. It would have been easy for me to accept that the only place dragons ever existed was in the imaginations of those who believed.

3 I could have given up, but I thought about my grandmother. She always told me that "people who believe that science is the answer to everything are missing out on everything else." With her words in mind, I searched some more. There were many facts that hinted that dragons may not be fictional. I noticed that cultures across the world all described dragons in similar ways. This was odd because they had no way to communicate with each other. I found dragons mentioned in more than just stories. They appeared in old legal papers, in the travel logs of Marco Polo, and in the Bible. I saw that the Chinese calendar uses a different animal each year. Dragons are included along with eleven real animals. I began to believe it was a real possibility that all of these people were talking about a creature that actually existed.

4 With renewed hope that there was some truth to the legends, I looked for new research. I found that some experts disagreed with popular arguments against dragons. They suggested that a dragon could have four stomachs like a cow. If it created stomach gases like birds, it might create enough to lift itself off the ground. This would give it the ability to fly. If it forced out air when diving toward the earth, it might release gases which could ignite into flame. When the animal died, the stomachs would release strong acids that would dissolve its dead body over time. Biologists backed up these ideas with sketches and models based on known animals. Not everyone agreed with these ideas, but many of the things we accept about dinosaurs and other extinct species started the same way.

5 I doubt we will ever truly know whether dragons existed. There may always be two sides to the fiery debate. Some will say the stories come from active imaginations. Some will believe with all their hearts that the legendary creatures roamed our ancient world. I don't know for certain which side to believe, but the sound and fury of a night like this makes me smile. It rekindles my childhood dreams and keeps the exciting possibility alive.

Read the excerpt from a short story. How does the character of the spotless ladybug affect the plot of the story? A group of ladybugs lived in a hollowed log in the middle of the forest.

That night, the ladybugs held a meeting. They decided that they needed get away from the birds. But how? The spotless ladybug spoke up. “The birds can’t see me.
