How we cite our quotes: (Part.Paragraph)
Quote #7
She looks almost like my mother. (2.396)
This closes one of the chapters, so even if you haven't read Divergent you know that Mama Four is going to come back and be a huge factor in the plot.
Quote #8
I know her; I could never forget her face, my mother. Evelyn Eaton. (3.186)
Notice how when Four sees his dead mother for the first time, and discovers she's not dead, no emotional words are used. Does he feel anything at all?
Quote #9
Even now I don't want to imagine what reconciling with her would be like, what having a mother would be like. I'm too old to hear that comforting nonsense anymore. (3.261)
Is anyone ever "too old" to be comforted by their mother? If Four let himself be comforted by her, would it happen, or is she no longer capable of that?
