Quote #7
"We're peculiar," [Millard] replied, sounding a bit puzzled. "Aren't you?"
"I don't know. I don't think so."
"That's a shame." (6.17-6.19)
In this book, it's a good thing to identify as peculiar. Of course, don't all "peculiar" children just want to find others just like them?
Quote #8
[Emma] was heartbroken for someone else, and I was merely a stand-in for my grandfather. (8.180)
Jacob's identity as Abe's grandson isn't normally an issue, but it is with Emma because she was in a relationship with Abe. Jacob can't figure out if Emma likes him for who he is, or because he looks like his grandpa (but without the wrinkles).
