Quote 1: “I reflected. Poverty looks grim to grown people; still more so to children: they have not much idea of industrious‚ working‚ respectable poverty; they think of the word only as connected with ragged clothes‚ scanty food‚ fireless grates‚ rude manners‚ and debasing vices: poverty for me was synonymous with degradation.” (pg. 18) This quote occurs when Jane learns from Mrs. Reed that her parents lived in poverty.

We can say from The Master and Margarita that while Jesus and Christianity is mentioned and relevant in the book‚ Bulgakov stays away from the sophisticated display of Jesus.

There are many sentences and some paragraphs about the nature of humans‚ atheism‚ totalitarianism‚ and humanity. The book weaves together satire and realism‚ art and religion‚ history and contemporary

To me this quote represents how Claudia anticipates the events that the book will give us the reader’s attention to‚ most notably Pecola’s pregnancy. She remembers that she and Frieda pointed fingers at each other for failing to grow the plants one summer‚ but now she thinks if the earth itself was a danger to them‚ a more radical possibility. I believe this quote represents the levels of Pecola’s desire‚ she does not want blue eyes because they apply to the standards the whites have applied‚ but

Lastly‚ another quote that was significant to me was “As you grow‚ you learn more. If you stayed as ignorant as you were at twenty- two‚ you’d always be twenty-two. Aging is not just decay‚ you know. It’s growth. It’s more than the negative that you’re going to die‚ it’s the positive that you understand you’re going to die‚ and that you live a better life because of it.” This quote was said by Morrie as Mitch and him talked about aging and death.
