How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #1
"The kind who live for music and are constantly seeking it out, anywhere they can. Who can't imagine a life without it. They're enlightened." (5.62)
Well that's a little pretentious, but we can forgive Owen for this statement. Music is obviously his whole life, and he expresses himself through the music that he loves and plays on his radio station.
Quote #2
Hearing the opening chords, I had a pang of missing Kristen, who, during her rebellion-filled senior year, had developed a passion for seventies-era guitar rock, which, at its height, had her listening to Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon on repeat for what seemed like weeks at a time. (8.38)
Listening to Kristen's music from high school makes Annabel remember how her sister was back then, and it makes her miss Kristen's presence. After all, Kristen is the one who made it out and is living her own life now, separate from their family.
Quote #3
Between our discourses on early punk, big band and swing, and the questionable redeeming qualities of techno music, I was learning more and more about him. (9.30)
By chatting with Owen about music (and telling him that she hates techno, again and again), Annabel isn't just learning about his musical taste—she's also learning a lot about his past and his family life.
