Characterization

"Yes," she sighed. "I'm one of an odd family. We sleep days and fly nights like black kites on the wind. If we want, we can sleep in moles through the winter, in the warm earth. I can live in anything at all-a pebble, a crocus, or a praying mantis. This part of the story gives away to people what kind of person she is-a witch. You can tell she is a witch because she says she sleeps days and flies nights. Also how she can sleep anywhere or inside of anything that she wishes too. Bradbury could have her say "I'm one of an odd family." because being a witch is not normal and it's not something you see everyday.
