My father is 6' 1" and will call me a " Midget."

Analysis:
The narrator has an effect on Hanna because they use to be best friends and now she bullies Hanna. This suggests that some event may have occurred between the time when the narrator and Hanna were best friends, therefore causing them to have a dispute.
