1. Michael doesn’t really care about seeing his grandparents, his cousins or a prairie winter. ( I am kind of interested in seeing the other cousins. We have only seen one cousin at the farm in the past.)
2. Michael has some choice in whether or not he goes with the family to the farm. (In my family, my son in his youth would not have this choice.)
3. Michael has the same disease as the rest of his family that causes him to raise an index finger in the air to make pronouncements of significance.
4. Michael values presents above family.
5. The farm must be a really awful place to stay and Michael knows it.
6. Michael doesn’t care about seeing his aunt and his uncle so much that Elly does not even bother trying to persuade him using their names.
7. When Elly defeats Michael she likes to walk away with her hands in her pockets and her nose in the air.
I guess from this we are to learn that:
