This is portrait to the reader through her vivid recollection of the events of that day, and the transformation of her purser to her hero. It would seem that at the age of seven, Dillard did not realize her actions would have consequences. One would say that she was simply being a kid that winter morning. She was unaware the lesson her silly childhood game would teach that she will carry with her into her adulthood.
