Quote #10
"You know where we're going now? We're going home."
She swung her heels against the seat. "Home, home, home, home," she sang.
The poor kid had spent so much of her life in a car, she probably felt more at home on the highway than anywhere else. "Do you remember home?" I asked her. "That house where we live with Lou Ann and Dwayne Ray? We'll be there before you know it." (17.184-186)
By the end of the novel, Taylor has come to think of Tucson as home, and, most importantly, she's come to think of the house she shares with Lou Ann, Dwayne Ray, and Turtle as "home" too. Although the highway stretches before them, heading west, the two aren't driving off into the sunset of the great unknown; instead, they're returning to a place they've come to know and love. Now doesn't that make ya feel all warm and fuzzy inside?
