Secret Life- "In a matter of seconds I knew exactly what i had to do-leave. I had to get away from T.Ray, who was probably on his way back this minute to do Lord-knows-what to me. Not to mention I had to get Rosaleen out of jail," (41).
Ellen Foster- "When I was little i would think of ways to kill my daddy. I would figure out this or that way and run it down through my head until it got easy." (Kaye Gibbons 1).

speak: "I wasted the last weeks of August watching bad cartoons. I didn't go to the mall, the lake, or the pool, or answer the phone. I have entered high school with the wrong hair, the wrong clothes, the wrong attitude. And I don't have anyone to sit with." 4
curious: "i'm scared of being in the park with you because you're a stranger." 61

Curious: “He held up his right hand and spread his fingers out in a fan. I held up my left hand and spread my fingers out in a fan and we made our fingers and thumbs touch each other. We do this because sometimes Father wants to give me a hug, but I do not like hugging people so we do this instead, and it means that he loves me.” Pg. 16
Secret life: "Most people don't have any idea about all the complicated life going on inside the hive. Bees have a secret life we don't know anything about." pg.148
