Answer:
Introduction:
The given extract is a part of a conversation where one person is blaming someone for causing damage. The blame is directed towards the wind, which has apparently thrown things down, torn the pages of books, and brought rain again. Let's analyze who is affected by the wind based on the given information.
Explanation:
The extract mentions that "there, look what you did", which implies that the blame is being directed towards someone. In this case, the blame is being attributed to the wind. The following points help us understand who is affected by the wind:
1. Weak: The extract mentions "you threw them all down" and "you tore the pages of the books." Here, "them" refers to objects that were thrown down, and the pages of books being torn. Since the wind is being blamed for these actions, it can be inferred that the wind affects the weak, as it is able to cause damage to objects that are susceptible to its force.
2. Strong: The extract does not mention any direct impact of the wind on the strong. It focuses on the damage caused to objects and does not provide any evidence of physical harm or impact on strong individuals.
3. People: The extract does not explicitly mention the impact of the wind on people. However, it can be inferred that people may be indirectly affected by the wind through the damage caused to their belongings or the inconvenience caused by rain. The mention of "you are very clever at poking fun at weaklings" suggests that the wind's actions are seen as mocking or making fun of the weak.
4. Things: The extract clearly states that the wind threw objects down and tore the pages of books. Therefore, it can be concluded that things are affected by the wind.
Conclusion:
Based on the given extract, it can be inferred that the wind primarily affects objects (things) and indirectly affects people through the damage caused to their belongings. The strong individuals are not directly impacted by the wind, as the extract focuses on the damage caused to objects and the mockery directed towards weak individuals.
