       Reaction
I think this is quote is forshadowing because It says that all the other ducklings do not like her duckling PLT, which is the same thing with her siblings. I think she is proud of her because she is able resist them. After all she does great in school which is her only way to get away from them and get a better. This quote is saying that out of all her siblings she will be the most successful one and  some of them may not even succeed in life. This quote projects the character's courage of enduring all these humiliations from her own family.
