Chapter 9
Page 114 Paragraph 1
Quote:
"I fumbled in my pocketbook for the gilt compact with the mascara and the mascara brush and the eyeshadow and the three lipsticks and the side mirror. The face that peered back at me seemed to be peering from the grating bruised and puffy and all the wrong colors. It was a face that needed soap and water and Christian tolerance."
Esther puts on her makeup because she has to look presentable to the world when she faces it. A girl was suposed to look beautiful when people saw her. Nobody really cared how she felt or if she was sad. Girls were supposed to be happy and deal with their own problems hidden away. All Esther wants is for someone to love her for who she is, not for who she dresses up like.
