Consider this quote from Poorna in the section “The Death Zone”: “I could see my goal above me. I could not turn back.” What does this quote tell you about Poorna?

It tells me that Poorna was a determined and tenacious girl.

Explanation:

This quote from Poorna Malavath, the thirteen-year-old girl who set on the journey to reach the summit of Mount Everest, the tallest mountain in the world showed that she was resolute and determined in her goal. The death zone was a very dangerous path that must be crossed before reaching the summit of the mountain.

There, the air became very thin and there was a limited supply of oxygen but just above the death zone was the summit of the mountain. That was why Poorna never gave up but kept being determined to never stop at the death zone but keep going on.

he is suggesting that this widow is a strong woman, who is giving constructive criticism and she has enough to worry about, and she takes care of him, so he does not take it to heart.
