Which quote from Daly's "Sixteen" helps the reader to infer the time period in which the short story took place? "He went to the
shanty to get my shoes. 'Black ones,' I told him. 'Same size as Garbo's.'" "Now don't get me wrong. I mean, I want you to understand from the beginning that I'm not really dumb." "My skates were hanging by the back door all nice and shiny for I'd just gotten them for Christmas and they smelled so queer..." "Then he took my skates and put them over my shoulder and said, 'Good-night now. I'll call you,' he said."
In Daly's "Sixteen," the line that allows readers to deduce the time period of the story is "Same size as Garbo's." This likely alludes to the actress Greta Garbo, prominent in the 1920s and 1930s.
