How we cite our quotes: (Section.Paragraph)
Quote #1
It made quite a load for such an old body. No one gave her a lift. People drive right down a road and never notice an old woman like that (1.3)
The townsfolk don't even seem to notice Mrs. Grimes. It's easy to blame Jake for keeping his family isolated, but, as a great man once said: it takes two to tango.
Quote #2
Her name was Grimes, and she lived with her husband and son in a small unpainted house on the bank of a small creek four miles from town (1.5)
The Grimes family lives an isolated life. There are tons of consequences to this, from making Jake seem less trustworthy to enabling his abuse of Mrs. Grimes.
Quote #3
Once [...] the man came there and sat on the bench in front. Two or three other men were there, but no one spoke to him (1.6)
Despite all our trash talking, we feel a little bad for Jake here. He's not a good dude, but that doesn't give the townsfolk an excuse to act as snooty as the popular girls from '90s high-school flicks.
