Quote #10

The story ends with Waverly fantasizing about escape. What's interesting is the way she ends the story with the word "alone." Is being alone the same as being free to Waverly? Or is it maybe a mixed bag—free of her mother's micromanaging, but also free of the support and even love that comes with it? We're thinking it's the second option, but feel free to disagree. We love a good argument.
