"What's real? I ain't interested in what's real. I'm interested in how things should be"
This quote reminds me of the phrase "whatever helps you sleep at night" because this basically means that he's creating a shield, like he's protecting himself from the truth.

"Only the good die young"
This quote stood out to me because nowadays a lot of good people die young and those people have spread a message that to me made them good people. Shortly after the mother said "only crazy people die by choking on their vomit." Unfortunately a lot of the people don't go out in the best of ways but that doesn't change the fact they were good people in their own way.

"Jimi Hendrix and my father became drinking buddies. Jimi Hendrix waited for my father to come home after a long night of drinking"

This quote seems very important to me because it is not only filled with figurative language, but is shows the true dependence that the narrator's father had with Jimmie Hendrix. It shows the true significance of Jimmie Hendrix.

"After all the .... I had been through, I figured Jimi Hendrix must have known I was there in the crowd to play something like that. It was exactly how I felt."

This is exactly how I have felt with music I like so in a way I can see where he is coming from.

"If you don't like the things you remember, then all you have to do is change the memories. Instead of remembering the bad things, remember what happened immediately before."

This quote explains the that the way the father thought. Instead of remembering the bad things that happened he only talked about the good moments.

I like these quotes because of the feelings it makes readers feel. Like when I first read them, it made me feel something that I wasn't expecting. (Hannah Brabant)

"Come on back inside," she said. "It's cold."
"No," I said "I know he's coming back tonight."

I like this part because it show's that even after everything he still had hope in his father and wants to depend on him more than anything. It's clear that he wants things to go back to the way they once were, even though he knows it's just a fragment of his imagination.

I believe the quote, "Music had powerful Medicine", was what helped her father change and live a better life after his prison sentence. He used Jimi Hendrix's songs as a comfort and a way to feel enjoyment and relation between Jimi's songs and the father's life.

"Music has powerful medicine"

I would split this after this line because it shows the healing power jimi had over his past; i would also split it to the line (page 53) "on a reservation."

The first part would be about his past/power of music, the second part would be about his love/family/effects of the song on his current life, the third would be what the result of music/love/experiences were (divorce)

"Because of all that, my father always remembered the second before my mother left him for good and took me with her. No. I remembered the second before my father left my mother and me. No. My mother remembered the second before my father left her to finish raising me all by herself."

"...so I figured music just might be the most important thing there is. Music turned my father into a reservation philosopher. Music had powerful medicine." This quote testifies to the fact that Jimi Hendrix's music changed her father forever.
