Quote #4
"Who knows better'n I do what normal is?" said Hazel. (20)
Hazel makes an interesting point here. Everyone's definition of "normal" is different. Who died and made Diana Moon Glampers queen of normality? It sure takes a conceited individual to think she (or he) is special enough to dictate everyone else's behavior.
Quote #5
"If there was just some way we could make a little hole in the bottom of the bag, and just take out a few of them lead balls. Just a few" (26)
Oh, Hazel, you rebel! It's easy to suggest changes to someone else's predicament when you're not in the same boat. Plus, Hazel's all talk, no action, making lots of suggestions, but never actually moving from the couch during the whole story. (Also, apparently "average" people have sub-average grammar.)
