Chapter 1 1. The parrot says “Allez vous-en! Allez vous-en! Sapristi! That’s all right!” (Chopin 5). It means “Get out! Get out!

What kind of book is this? List three evidences of this. I would say that this book falls under the category of being a romantic fiction novel. This isn’t a true story and it also is about a two people falling in and out of love and making big decisions so that’s why I would say it is a romantic fiction novel. “Everyone wanted to believe that endless love was possible. She’d believed in it once‚ too‚ back when she was eighteen.” pg 55. “By the time summer ended‚ he knew he was in love‚ and when
