vocabs-
holler (112)-One feature of Upper Southern English and specifically of Appalachian English is its pronunciation of the final unstressed syllable in words such as hollow, window, and potato as (ər). Holler, winder, and tater are merely variant pronunciations reflected in spelling. As a noun, holler has the specific meaning in the Appalachians of "a small valley between mountains": They live up in the holler underneath Big Bald Mountain.
hereafter (120)- after this in time or order; at some future time; farther along.
"Motels had sprouted liked toadstools after a rainstorm..." (113) This is an example of a metaphor. the reason i chose this metaohor is because i like how it talks about toad stools and the common subject of motels. For me its hard to imagine not driving down 394 and not seeing half a dozen motels/ hotels.
"...worrying her fingernails like a string of Job's tears." (114) This is an example of a metaphor. The reason i like this sentence is because i like how it compares to a bible refrence. It shows the time period where people could whip out a metaphor talking about the bible effortlessly.
"Tears burned my eyes like i was peeling ramps." (119) this is another metaphor. Its a good exampe because she is so sad that it reminds her of peelinga spicy vegetable that made her cry. so somber!
QUOTE
"I could tell she never hulled a lima with her pretty gloved hands. I craved to be like her." (107) This is a good quote to sum up this part. Basicaly shes going through a rough time and has just discovered her familys finanacial distress. she just wishes to be a normal rich girl!
