Walk Two Moons

204/280

                     My job this time was to choose quotes, sentences, or paragraphs from what we read. Something that made me feel an emotion or something that was funny, depressing, or powerful. I was also supposed to record the page and paragraph. I asked other people about what they felt about some of my quotes.

1.  My first sentence that I picked was ".....you're trying to catch fish in the air. Your mother is not coming back.". It was on page 115, paragraph three.                                                                                            When I read this, I felt that this was the truth and it made me feel as if I was in her place, thinking that my own mother was never going to come back. It reminded me of my own loss which I wish not to explain. 
2. My second sentence was "People usually come back.". It was on page 128, paragraph two.                                This made me feel sort of shocked because it went against what Sal's father said previously. 
3. This third one really made me think because of its wording. It was " A person isn't a bird. You can't cage a person.", on page 141, second paragraph.                                                                                              To me, it makes me think then, is it right to cage even a bird? Don't all living animals wish to be free at times? I had a tricky, (not hard), time answering due to what it may actually mean.
4. This fourth one really made my teeth seethe. "Cholesterol," Phoebe said. "Chol-es-ter-ol.In the butter." "Ah." Mrs. Finney said. "Cholesterol." She looked at her husband. "Be careful, dear. There's cholesterol on the beans." It was on page 159, paragraph two. By the time I read this page, I had laughed, and fumed at the same time. Phoebe's actions and words just made me feel so flustered. Jana liked it because it seemed to describe Phoebe's description a bit more. Everyone else hated it and entirely believed she was just plain mean.
5. Last but not least...."The whispers walloped me. "rush, rush, rush." This was on page 177, paragraph four. I just loved the wording because even though it was just a sentence, it seemed to have much more meaning. It described what Sal was feeling almost. Jana thought it to be the wording that makes it seem mysterious and Cody thought it to sound wise.

So that was it. I wanted to do a lot more but hope you enjoyed!  :)
