Quote #4
She wouldn't talk about her family or her house. She wouldn't talk about anything that happened before she moved to the neighborhood or anything that happened after she got off the bus. (19.182)
Eleanor knows her home is something she wants to keep to herself, because she thinks Park won't like her if he knows about it. She doesn't want to be linked to such an awful place—and she doesn't think it's really hers, anyway.
Quote #5
Every Sunday, they got dressed up, in nice pants and sweaters, and had dinner with their grandparents. (20.15)
Not only does Park come from a loving home, he lives next door to his grandparents. This slice of his family's life (a formal weekly dinner with his relatives) is in total contrast to Eleanor's home, which is cut off from any extended family.
Quote #6
It was just too much. Meeting his pretty, perfect mom. Seeing his normal, perfect house. Eleanor hadn't known there were houses like that in this crappy neighborhood—houses with wall-to-wall carpeting and little baskets of potpourri everywhere. She didn't know there were families like that. (21.121)
Park's "normal, perfect" house is almost a shock to Eleanor, and given her own home, she has a very hard time feeling comfortable at Park's.
