Chapter 8
Page 100 Paragraph 7
Quote:
"A pot belly swelled under the tight white nylon shirt and his cheeks were round an druddy as marzipan fruit. Even his laugh sounded plump. Byddy's eyes met mine. 'It's the eating,' he said. 'They stuff us day and then just make us lie around.'"

Buddy is a porker. He thinks that Esther is descusted with him because he's fat. She partly is, and that's how you know their not supposed to be together. If you really loved someone, they wouldn't care if you were fat or not, they would love you still because you're you. It's not the person on the outside we love, it's the person on the inside.
