Significant Passage
Book: The Perfect Place
Author: Teresa.E.Harris
Significant passage - You realize a certain part of the text is important. Why do you think it is important? What does it mean? What does it reveal about the plot, character and/or conflict?
Before: "Great-Aunt Grace raises one eyebrow. "What is the sweet name on Jesus does a stuffed animal need clothes for? Makes about as much sense as nonsmokin' establishments. Rule Number Four: No cryin' over foolishness."
After: "She takes something out of one of her many bags. The sea-green baby clothes she'd been working on when Moon came over about the cigarettes. She hands them to Tiffany." These are for you. Well for that teddy bear of yours anyway," she says gruffly. "I'm worki'n on a few other outfits.
This part in the book is important because it shows a lot of character change. I think this part in the book is more of the resolution when Great-Aunt Grace realizes that deep inside she actually cares about her family which she hated in the beginning of the book and is trying not to show it too much. That changes the conflict a lot and gives it a big twist because from then on in the book she is very nice and speaks very kindly to her family. It conveys a character in Great-Aunt- Grace that she is changing slowly.
