Quote #4
Magda Price is what my grandmother would call "cute as a button," whatever that means. […] The only thing wrong with her is she's kind of small. Not Munchkin small, but close. Definitely too small to be interested in a hulking, neckless creature such as myself. (3.28)
So size is relative. Magda isn't too small objectively, but Jason thinks she's too small to like a "hulking, neckless creature" such as himself. We think he should let Magda make that decision for herself.
Quote #5
Even the way he looks is ordinary. One time for a computer project I scanned a whole bunch of student photos from the yearbook, then used a graphics program to morph them into a single face. What I got looked like a slightly fuzzy version of Dan Grant. (5.1-2)
This doesn't seem very flattering. But is there anything wrong with being ordinary? And is there even such thing?
