How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #7
A raindrop just splashed on my forehead and it was like a tear from heaven. Are the clouds and the skies really weeping over me? Am I really alone in the whole wide gray world? (167)
We know this is just a colossal pity party for one, and that Alice's questions are melodramatic hypotheticals, but she probably does feel pretty lonely.
Quote #8
Oh, what am I going to do? I need someone to talk to. I really and truly and desperately do. Oh God, please help me. I'm so scared and so cold and so alone. I have only you, Diary. You and me, what a pair. (178.7)
It's interesting that Alice feels comfortable going to a church to find help, but then doesn't take it the next step further and talk to a priest. You would think that her impulse to turn toward religion would lead her to that conclusion, but it doesn't.
Quote #9
It's terrible not to have a friend. I'm so lonely and so alone. I think it's worse on weekends than during the week, but I don't know. It's pretty bad all the time. (187.1)
We're including this quote just to make sure you really understand just how lonely and isolated Alice feels. Got it? Good.
