1. "Are we going to die, Eliza?" I asked finally.
Eliza snorted.
"That's foolish talk. I'm not going to die. I have too much work to do. Mother Smith there, she won't go until she's ready and the Lord himself asks for the pleasure of her company. Don't listen to words of despair, Mattie. You must be strong and have faith."
This passage reminds me of Ms. Brink at the volleyball tournament when she kept telling us not to get down because we were losing and that we could win.
2. I applied all my force to clean the burnt bits from the bottom of the stew pot. Mother Smith hadn't said a word when the stew burned because I forgot to stir it. She didn't had to say a word; the way she lifted her chin as she turned away said everything. I was a complete failure.
This passage reminds me of the time Jihyun and I tried to make waffles but burned them and my mother laughed at us. We then had to take the waffles of and clean the waffle maker with knifes.
3. I looked around the garden. No insects hovered over the dying plants or the well. The entire yard sparkled with diamonds of frost that quickly melted into millions of drops of water with a gentle kiss of the sun.
Frost.
This was no dream.
"Eliza!! Eliza!!
Eliza stumbled out onto the porch , alarmed and confused.
The weather before this passage was hot and they couldn't cool the house down no matter what Mattie and Eliza tried to do.
This passage reminds me of last years weather. It was short sleeve weather one day and the next it was snowing.
