Chapter 1
Page 6 Paragraph 5
Quote:
"Jay Cee...I liked her a lot... she wasn't one of the fashion magazine guchers with fake eyelashes and giddy jewelry. Jay Cee had brains, so her plug-ugly looks didn't seem to matter. She read a coulple of languages and knew all the quality writers in the business."

Esther is a modest person, and likes practical things. She likes people who act like themselves, and don't try to be fakes and cover themselves with makeup like a mask. Esther may not be a looker, so she likes to know there are people out in the world who are okay with the way they look even if they aren't pretty. These people inspire her and make her understand, that looks don't get you a job or respect, or make you a professor. You have to have the brains and knowledge to help you in the real world because in the end intelligence lasts longer.
