Question

read the text. \step right up!\ trumpeted lucas, ushering customers onto the boat with a dramatic sweep of his arms. my brother loved to put on a show. i tried not to shrink with embarrassment as i handed each tourist a map of the everglades. i smacked a mosquito on my neck, but there was no relief from the incessant, droning swarm. it was early, but the thick heat of the swamp was already settling in, signaling an uncomfortable day on the dock. the only way to escape mosquitos and misery on days like these is to get out on the water. \welcome, one and all, to an unforgettable adventure as we explore the timeless beauty of floridas wetlands!\ lucas yelled over the roar of the outboard motor on the gator queen. i watched lucas casually lean over the steering wheel as the queen puttered through the dark water and under the arching mangrove trees. what was it like to lead a tour? dad said i was still too young. but i could almost feel the cool breeze blowing my hair back as i imagined myself throttling the engine, picking up speed over open water as i showed the tourists the hidden majesty of my favorite glades and coves. i wiped sweat from my forehead and started counting the cash, still hearing lucass voice even though i could not see the queen. birds screeched in the mangroves. soon, another group would crowd the dock, ready for the \magic\ of a bennett family swamp experience. what is likely true about the narrators relationship with her brother? she is jealous of him because he gets to do the job that she wants. she looks up to him and wants to be like he is when she gets older. she is thankful that he interacts with the tourists so that she doesnt have to.
