"The house looked asleep. It sat at the very end of a quiet first lane, and their tops met over it so that the lane was shadowed in green. The house sat pushed back from the trees, in a small pool of sunlight, but vines snaked up the red brick chimney and bushes ran rampant around the windows. A small roof sheltered a door painted red, like the chimney. But the house was flat gray, dull behind the bushes. Curtains were drawing over the windows and the door "


The quote is significant because it shows the reader how Mrs. Smith had been living before the children came to her. It showed that she was living alone and was quite sad and droopy. It impacts the characters in that it makes Ada realize later on that Mrs. Smith has been quite lonely after Becky died.

“The Royal Air Force built an airfield across the road from Butter’s pasture.” pg. 69


It startles Butter and Ada has to overcome the challenge of calming him and Maggie’s horse that was also affected. She finds out that she’s better at horse riding than she thought. ]]> 2021-05-14 17:29:09 UTC https://padlet.com/mclay12/mruprzwdofpjdbmj/wish/1525554687 mclay12 https://padlet.com/mclay12/mruprzwdofpjdbmj/wish/1525556376 Michelle Clay

“Outside was a little space fenced by a stone wall, and then another much bigger space, also fenced.”  “The grass in the field pricked my bare foot.” The ground was soft; it moved when I stepped on it.” “Trees bordered the field, and their tops waved in the sun.” pg. 44

Butter was kept in the bigger stone wall area, later the stone wall gets in Ada’s way. She spends lots of her time here and it has sort of a soothing/healing feeling for her. ]]> 2021-05-14 17:29:33 UTC https://padlet.com/mclay12/mruprzwdofpjdbmj/wish/1525556376 smoseley2 https://padlet.com/mclay12/mruprzwdofpjdbmj/wish/1525562092 Skylar Moseley

“...stretched out in the distance, an endless carpet of blue and gray. Clouds floated over it, and small white things seemed to flicker on the surface of it, but mostly it was like grass, flat and broad and unchanging, except that it went on forever, farther than I could see.”
 
Ada really likes the ocean and how it looks. This is the first time in her life she’s seeing it.]]> 2021-05-14 17:30:59 UTC https://padlet.com/mclay12/mruprzwdofpjdbmj/wish/1525562092 amccarthy79 https://padlet.com/mclay12/mruprzwdofpjdbmj/wish/1525569052 It was Ada’s first time at Maggie’s house and she had never seen one as big as her’s. This is also when she met Mr. Grimes for the first time. “The trees opened up and in front of us was a huge stone building, big like I imagined the dock warehouses must be. Big like the London train station. It couldn’t be right. Whatever place it was, it wasn’t a house.” Page 102 https://www.houstoniamag.com/home-and-real-estate/dream-homes-top-neighborhoods-2019]]> 2021-05-14 17:32:38 UTC https://padlet.com/mclay12/mruprzwdofpjdbmj/wish/1525569052 smoseley2 https://padlet.com/mclay12/mruprzwdofpjdbmj/wish/1525569425 Skylar Moseley

“It looked small, and dark, and flimsy. The bottom half of it was buried in the ground, and you had to go down three steps to open the little door. Inside, there was just room for two long benches, facing each other." 
The shelter reminded Ada of the old cabinet mam would put her in. The shelter smelt damp, just like the cabinet. The cabinet was a very traumatic place for Ada, and reminded her of the abuse her mother put her through. Ada has to go into the shelter against her will every time the bombing siren goes off to be safe from german bombs.]]> 2021-05-14 17:32:44 UTC https://padlet.com/mclay12/mruprzwdofpjdbmj/wish/1525569425 amccarthy79 https://padlet.com/mclay12/mruprzwdofpjdbmj/wish/1525603040 This is important because it was the first time she saw the ocean. She was really amazed by the ocean and she had never seen it before. “Finally I saw a long, tall hill and climbed it, thinking perhaps I could recognize Miss Smith’s house, or at least the village, from above.” Page 151
