Paragraph #1:
"I understood why the cart man was walking so slowly. Death was a heavy companion."
Page 151 Paragraph 3
I chose this because it is a very poetic and powerful sentence. I feel like Mattie is very wise and she understands death and that she is all alone. It is very interesting and very true that death is a heavy companion, and I find it very impressive that Mattie is able to understand and phrase this. It only makes me love her character so much more.
Paragraph #2:
"In the beginning of August, this was the largest city in the United States. Forty thousand people lived here"
Page 158 Paragraph 4
I chose this because it is very interesting how population and size was so different back then. Today there are cities where ten of millions of people live, and in Philadelphia, which was the largest city in the United States only held four thousand people.
Paragraph #3:
"'Mama's broken too' she said"
Page 162 Paragraph 3
I chose this because it is very impressive that a small child can make a connection like this. Mattie finds a broken doll on the ground and gives to a little girl, but the girl says that it is broken. Mattie says that maybe her parents can fix the doll but the girl responds that 'Mama's broken too.'
