Answer 1

The excerpt describes the narrator's ability to work outside all day and her experience with cooking over an open fire. The mention of "breaking ice to get water for washing" and eating pork liver "minutes after it comes steaming from the hog" portrays her as someone who is familiar with hard labor and possibly outdoor living.
