Quote:
"I buried my face in the pink velvet facade of Jay Cee's loveseat and with immence relief the salt tears and miserable noises that had been prowling around in me all morning burst out into my room."
Esther is having a breakdown. She has bottled up her emotions and frustrations for so long, that she finally can't take it any more. I wouldn't be able to take it any more if I had that many problems. Sometimes you just have to let it all out and that means to cry and after the cry your fine. She just needs some guidance and love. Someone to love her for being Esther, not just a girl. Every girl wants to be loved for being themselves.

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.

Quote:
"'TB is like living with a bomb in your lung,' Budy had written to me at college. 'You just lie around very quietly hoping it won't go off.'"
Buddy wants to have something exciting to happen in his life. He wants to have someone to tell all his secrets to, that is not his mother. He wants someone to care about what he says and not care if he did something wrong. Someone that will for give him for his mistakes that he's made. He wants a true love.

Quote:
"I felt so fine by the time we came to the yogurt and strawberry jam that I decided I would let Constantin seduce me."
Esther has just found out that Buddy is not a virgin. Now that she has found out that the reason that she has been a virgin is because she wanted to be pure for her husband, which she says she will never marry. So she wanted to stay pure for Buddy, but then she finds out that he isn't pure so why does she have to be pure when he isn't. She thinks they should be equal when they marry. So she feels like Constantin is an okay guy to have seduce her. I think that she is just too drunk to care right now.

Page 82 Paragraph 1-2
Quote:
"Of course, Constatin was much too short, but in his own way he was handsome with light brown hair and dark blue eyes and a lively, challenging expression...I thought, 'This Constantin won't mind if I'm too tall and don't know enough languages and haven't been to Europe, he'll see through all that stuff to what I really am.'"
Esther is just the same as Buddy. She wants someone to love. Someone that cares about how she truely feels. She feels that Constantin is the right man, and even if he isn't the right man, a man close enough to the right one. She doesn't think that she's good enough for Constatin. She tells her self though that Constatin won't care, and he probably won't. I really don't think that he is right for her. She just needs to realize that Buddy isn't the only man out there that could love her.

Page 79 Paragraph 7
Quote:
"When I first went to her [Mrs. Willard] house for supper she gave me a queer, shrewd, searching look, and I knew she was trying to tell whether I was a virgin or not."
Women are supposed to be virgins when they get married. They want to women because they want the girl to be a flower, and the man to be a bee. The man can go to different girls, but the girl can only have one man. I believe that women should be virgins when they get married, and I also believe that men should be virgins when they get married. Their relationships should be equal, the man nor the women should be more intitled to do something than the other.

Quote:
"My mother and my grandmother had started hinting around to me a lot lately about what a fine, clean boy Buddy Willard was, coming from such a fine, clean family, and how everybody at church thought he was a model person, so kind to his parednt and to oder people, as well as so athletic and so handsome and so intelligent."
Every one wants a good man for their daughter, that has money and is courteous to everyone. It makes him look good in society, and it also makes the wife look good too. People always want the perfect man for their daughter, but sometimes the perfect man turns out to not be so perfect after all.
