The Scarlet Ibis

I got two questions I need help with quick and badly- number 1 = why does aunt nicey not like doodles nickname? And number 2 = what does the description in lines 59-61 tell you about doodle?

I have a packet with the books the Scarlet Ibis and it has questions on every page has question's with line number's [for example~(on lines # 59-61), and (on lines # so & so. Also {So} still equals some sort of number line in which the answer is on.]

My first question about (why doodles Aunt Nicey doesnt like doodles nickname) has some sort of description- the numbered line that the ansere to the question is on (numbered line 79).

My second question (is what does the description tell the readers about doodles personality/or what doodle does in his everyday life), description ~ the "numbered line/or numbered lines" is which (when "numbered lines/numbered line" has only 1 "numbered line", or it could maybe be possible for the lines/line to have 2, 3, 4, or maybe it could even have more than 4 times, but it could have/happen over more than 4 times, but it could have multiple different numbered lines. The writer of the story/book/packet will most definitely tell you ("about doodle's lifestyle/what doodle does in his everyday life") are on/or only just on (numbered lines 59-61). Sorry if I talked much to proper in English/politically correctly in this its just that my English class at my school makes me write/speak only in class and I'm more used to it.plus I'm bored doing HW, so I'm correcting my sentences in a early 1400s too early 1800s because of all that so ya just tell me the answer please.

Aunt Nicey didn't like the name Doodle because it wasn't respectful. She said that "caul babies" might end up becoming saints.... thus, Doodle, wasn't the best choice of name in her view.

Crawling backward made him look like a doodlebug, so I began to call him Doodle, and in time even Mama and Daddy thought it was a better name than William Armstrong. Only Aunt Nicey disagreed. She said caul babies should be treated with special respect since they might turn out to be saints. Renaming my brother was perhaps the kindest thing I ever did for him, because nobody expects much from someone called Doodle.

I have no line numbers in the text I am using. In order to help you, I'll need you to provide the lines in question.
