How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #1
Grace, the only person in the world I wanted to know me [...] walked out of the store without ever realizing I was there, right within reach. (4.29)
Sam suffers angsty torment when Grace doesn't speak with him. However, he only brings it upon himself, because he could just as easily have spoken to her.
Quote #2
“Maybe [Isabel]'s not in mourning anymore,” I said. [...] Olivia opened the door for me. “Maybe she's the only one who ever was.” (8.47)
People show their grief in different ways. Grace thinks that Isabel isn't mourning because she's not being all theatrical and wearing black to school, but Isabel is taking a much more realistic approach to grief: trying to get Jack back. It's the bargaining stage of grief made real with a supernatural twist.
Quote #3
“I know you're really close to the situation, but he does need help.” (14.13)
A nurse zeroes in on Sam's wrist scars as a sign of suffering. Although the nurse mistakes the scars as a sign of suicidal tendencies, the scars still represent suffering: the suffering caused by being wolf and the suffering brought to Sam by his parents.
