Explanation: PLZ GIVE ME BRAINLIEST

In this extract, the author provides details about Stanley Yelnat’s mother and her optimistic way of viewing things. One example of this is when she tries to console Stanley and his father whenever they felt negative when it came to their ancestry of bad luck.  

The starting sentence of the extract is said by Stanley’s mother, “Not every Stanley Yelnats has been a failure.” It gives us a view into Stanley’s family and the “curse” that befell them. However, Stanley’s mother seems to only look at the good side of things, expressing her encouraging and optimistic nature.  

This impression the reader has of her is further reinforced by the line, “He couldn't have been too unlucky.” Through this, she tries to console Stanley by saying that, the first Stanley Yelnat could not have been too unlucky, and so Stanley now wouldn’t be too unlucky as well.

She tends to only look at the good side, as seen by the line, “She neglected to mention the bad luck that befell the first Stanley Yelnats.” It tells us that his mother views life with rose-tinted glasses, and is unaware of the obvious.

In conclusion, the author provides multiple details to build the personality of Stanley’s mother, an optimistic and cheery person.
