Read the following sentences from two personal narratives. 1. Miss Leonard is very generous and helps others whenever she can. 2. Mr. Franks mowed our lawn once a week while our father’s broken arm healed. Which best highlights the qualities of the narrator’s subject?

Sentence 2 highlights Mr. Franks’s helpfulness through a specific action: he mowed the lawn while the narrator’s father recovered. Sentence 1 simply tells the reader that Miss Leonard is generous, rather than showing that quality through an example. So sentence 2 best highlights the subject’s qualities.
