Answer:     There is a connection in comparison that is brought together through my experiences with Claudette's experiences, and I have to agree with her choice to downplay her intelligence around her sisters. In the text it follows,  I was one of the good girls. Not great and not terrible, solidly middle of the pack. But I had an ear for languages, and I could read before I could adequately wash myself. I probably could have vied with Jeanette for the number one spot, but I’d seen what happened if you gave in to your natural aptitudes. This wasn’t like the woods, where you had to be your fastest and your strongest and your bravest self. Different sorts of calculations were required to survive at the home.  I can compare with the revealing text that I've always been independent with my own opinions and thoughts on particular topics and to some people; I've never wanted to brag about any accomplishments of mine, but I do want to set the example that my grandmother and mother have always guided me to forever show the example of my effort to achieve accomplishment because if the effort given isn't sufficient for you to try to reach goals and dreams, you won't be able to achieve them. Most things in this nation are given due to the cost of your work and effort. Very few things are granted to use such as a roof to live beneath, food to avoid starvation or malnutrition, and clean clothing to wear to those who are minors living in a household that makes sufficient amount in currency that helps with all the needs in every individual living in that household. That's why I appreciate that Claudette isn't self-centered to display her success in adapting to human norms to her sisters. Sure, she could even compete with Jeanette to race to be the number one fastest learner of their family. However, she eschews being the greatest of her sisters because she already perceives the perspective that is shared with her other sisters that they dislike of Jeanette, so she doesn't want to  be disfavored by her sisters as they are with Jeanette. To prove my statement of Claudette avoiding to be like her sister Jeanette, the text reads,  The pack hated Jeanette. She was the most successful of us, the one furthest removed from her origins. Her real name was GWARR!, but she wouldn’t respond to this anymore. Jeanette spiffed her penny loafers until her very shoes seemed to gloat. (Linguists have since traced the colloquial origins of “goody two-shoes” back to our facilities.) She could even growl out a demonic-sounding precursor to “Pleased to meet you.”
