Analyze the conflict and character reactions

Reverend Buckminster prioritizes public perception and congregational opinion over personal truth, dismissing Turner's perspective on visiting Malaga Island. Turner's quiet, repeated response, "It matters to me," directly opposes his father's stance, showing his internal conviction and emotional resistance.

Evaluate the evidence for frustration

Turner's act of whispering "It matters to me" highlights his struggle to voice his dissent under his father's dominant authority. This quiet defiance, which he is forced to repeat louder, directly demonstrates his deep frustration with his father's dismissive attitude.
