What the hell do you think you’re doing? WILLIE: Sorry, Master Hally, but it’s him… HALLY: Act your bloody age! (Hurls the rag back at Willie.) Cut out the nonsense now and get on with your work. And you too, Sam. Stop fooling around. (Sam moves away) No. Hang on. I haven’t finished! Tell me exactly what my Mom said. SAM: I have. ‘When Hally comes, tell him I’ve gone to the hospital and I’ll phone him.’ HALLY: She didn’t say anything about taking my Dad home? SAM: No. It’s just that when she was talking on the phone… HALLY: (Interrupting him.) No, Sam. They can’t be discharging him. She would have said so if they were. In any case, we saw him last night and he wasn’t in good. . . . p. 8 What does this scene reveal about Hally’s character?

Answer 1

she is rude and disrepectful she thinks shes right and cant accept that she was "hint" on accident she didnt have to do all that

Answer 2

This scene reveals that Hally is very serious, hardworking, and a bit bossy. Hally yells at Willie at Sam because they were horseplaying while they should have been working. Hally tells them to stop acting childish and to get back to work. This shows that Hally is very serious and hardworking. While asking Sam what their mother said, Hally is a bit bossy with Sam. Hally cuts him off and tells him that what he is saying simply cannot be true. All of these things indicate that Hally can be a bit bossy.
