Quote #7
He did have really cute hair. Really, really… It was completely straight and almost completely black, which, on Park, seemed like a lifestyle choice. He always wore black, practically head to toe. (16.25)
How great is it that Eleanor thinks Park's naturally black hair seems like a "lifestyle choice"? We love how both of these characters totally adore how the other one looks.
Quote #8
"And you look like a protagonist." She was talking as fast as she could think. "You look like a person who wins in the end. You're so pretty, and so good. You have magic eyes," she whispered. (19.358)
Eleanor actually tells Park, here, that he looks like a protagonist. (Guess what, Eleanor?) It's a great way of expressing how she feels about Park—her feelings about him really affect how she sees him.
Quote #9
God, what must his dad be like? He looked just like Tom Selleck... The whole family was cute. Even his white brother. His mom looked exactly like a doll. (21.115-116)
Eleanor's initially really intimidated when she meets Park's family, because she thinks they all look so perfect. The neat, happy Sheridan house is so different from her own home. Interesting that Eleanor refers to Josh as Park's "white" brother, isn't it? Park always says he looks much more Asian than Josh does.
