In our most recent paper, Ms. Maxey asked us to pick one single sentence out of the first three chapters that we believe is the most important. Before writing, I sifted through the pages wanting to write about other sentences that I felt deserved more attention, but aren't necessarioy important to the plot or character development. For example, I love this sentence: "If she had been younger and had more juice, the glitter in her eyes would have washed down onto her cheeks" (21). This sentence brings a vivid picture to my mind. I love the imagery of "glitter" in her eyes and showing the glitter "washing down" brings up a very familiar sight. I read this sentence over and over many times trying to figure out why it seemed so beautiful to me. I am still unsure. Another sentence that I appreciated was the spiel on darkness. "You think dark is just one color, but it ain't...May as well be a rainbow" (41). I had never thought of "dark" being another color than black, nor have I really thought about the color of darkness at all. Although this shows that the character searches for the truth in people and things, and is able to see greatness in something as boring and simple as the color of "dark."
