Question

After what seemed like forever in the car, they stopped and walked out into an empty field. “What is here?” she said. He said nothing, but pointed up, and so she looked up. Up seemed so much darker than where they lived. “Why are there sparkles all over the sky?”
He snorted, then replied, “Those are stars. They are just like the sun, but they are so far away that they look small. Like you!”
What does the dialogue in the excerpt reveal about both characters?

Answer 1

One is a young child, and one is an adult.

The child's questions show curiosity and limited knowledge; the other's explanatory reply (and teasing comparison) shows greater knowledge and an adult tone.
