Answer:
Stanton is determined to learn the things boys do to gain her father's acceptance
Step-by-step explanation:
The original excerpt "My father," I replied, "prefers boys; he wishes I was one, and I intend to be as near like one as possible. I am going to ride on horseback and study Greek. Will you give me a Greek lesson now, doctor? I want to begin at once." show how willing Stanton is to demonstrate her father that she is as valuable as a boy since she can do the same things and she deserves to receive the love and acceptance that she would have got from her father if she had been a boy.
