In "The Crow Child" by Mary Mapes Dodge, Cora's motivation to forgive Rocky can be attributed to the following two answers:
-
Her love for her brother - Cora cares deeply for Rocky, and this love plays a significant role in her decision to forgive him.
-
Guilt she feels after events called her to examine her actions - Cora reflects on her own actions and feelings of guilt, which leads her to reconsider her stance towards Rocky.
These motivations highlight her compassion and the complexities involved in family relationships.
