Character is built through selflessness and not personal achievements.

People value good character over talent.

Explanation:

The second and third sentences are the ones that best represent the theme of the passage.

Rosie is the youngest of five children, and it seems like she is the only unremarkable one. All of her siblings have some sort of talent, while she doesn't seem to consider such things important. There is way more depth to her character than to her siblings'. They are described as solely focused on their achievements, while she is there to always help everyone and doesn't mind it. She is selfless, and it seems like she has more potential than her shallow siblings.

This is what their aunt notices, which is why she chooses Rosie as her companion. She values good character over talent, knowing that Rosie will be there for her if she ever needs her.

well stockyards mean a large yard containing pens and sheds, typically adjacent to a slaughterhouse, in which livestock is kept and sorted. and i'm assuming that by party you   mean a large group of people which does make sense because chicago is a very crowded place much like new york. stockyards tend to take up a lot of room due to needing the area for pens to keep animals in and the fact that stockyards are usually right by slaughterhouse where they process and distribute the product. so its much like a zoo but with some dead animal products close by.
