Quote: "His arms were around her, and his face was in her hair and there was no place for the rest of her to go but against him"‘(Rowell,248)
Explanation: What seem to be the brief and sparse moments of sanctity between the two occur with extreme rarity, both Eleanor and Park attain a feeling of ecstasy; of sheer joy, which is once again cited within the text on the 248th page.  ]]> 2018-02-08 14:09:11 UTC https://padlet.com/2022_thomas_torres/oizgjgg5di6w/wish/229566598 2022_thomas_torres https://padlet.com/2022_thomas_torres/oizgjgg5di6w/wish/229576018 Chapter: 43

Quote: "You've stayed away from them (boys). That's smart."‘(Rowell,261)
Explanation: What we witness here is nearly a subtle resentment towards Richie, a form of regret almost, from the mother of Eleanor, or really what is a resentment towards the men she has dealt with throughout her entire life.  ]]> 2018-02-08 14:23:50 UTC https://padlet.com/2022_thomas_torres/oizgjgg5di6w/wish/229576018 2022_thomas_torres https://padlet.com/2022_thomas_torres/oizgjgg5di6w/wish/229579789 Chapter: 44

Quote: "If you were watching them now, you'd think that Eleanor and Park did this kind of thing all the time. Not just once before.(Rowell, 274)"
Explanation: Once again the reader is greeted to more of Eleanor and Park's personal bonding time, which in this case is a date, far from the usual. for either. Each are cited to enjoy the time spent aimlessly wandering and viewing the haunts of downtown, for nothing more then their own enjoyment. ]]> 2018-02-08 14:37:25 UTC https://padlet.com/2022_thomas_torres/oizgjgg5di6w/wish/229585161 2022_thomas_torres https://padlet.com/2022_thomas_torres/oizgjgg5di6w/wish/230154294 Chapter: 46

Quote: "Torn comic book pages. Powder. Little pools of green eye shadow.. Miles of Cassette tape" (Rowell, 278)"
Explanation: A stunning realisation bombastically enters the life of Eleanor and poses what is a rather large to end the entire longevity of Park and Eleanor's relationship, rendering every ounce of time invested in each other could become nothing in mere instants. And due to another outburst Richie had, just as the ruined goods were, a relationship which had been built upon for over a year, would near instantaneously be put to a halt. ]]> 2018-02-09 18:39:04 UTC https://padlet.com/2022_thomas_torres/oizgjgg5di6w/wish/230154294 2022_thomas_torres https://padlet.com/2022_thomas_torres/oizgjgg5di6w/wish/230159332 Chapter: 47

Quote: "Eleanor considered her options" (Rowell, 280)"
Explanation: When left in what is an objectively horrible situation, Eleanor veers for possible ways of fleeing the scenario she had been thrust into, everso abruptly. Which this lack of options, irrationality would spark for Eleanor, and cause her to act in said manners, understanding how dwarfed she would be considering the paradoxical scenario she would be placed into.

Quote: "I have to leave(Rowell,287)"
Explanation: In the face of adversary, Eleanor is left adrift amidst the chaos which her father had ungraciously bestowed upon the neighborhood. Eleanor feels as if the state of her very being is at stake if she were not to flee, as she seemingly believes her stepfather, RIchie, wishes to kill her or something equally egregious, as Richie is depicted as entirely vindictive. ]]> 2018-02-09 18:56:26 UTC https://padlet.com/2022_thomas_torres/oizgjgg5di6w/wish/230162258 2022_thomas_torres https://padlet.com/2022_thomas_torres/oizgjgg5di6w/wish/230164149 Chapter: 49

Quote: "How he looks at me. Like he's biding his time. Not like he wants me, Like he'll get around to me when there's nothing left to destroy(Rowell,288)."
Explanation: The emerging melodrama of the whole ordeal which had just conspired before our very eyes is only furthered by this quote. Eleanor is thrust into a brief period of remembrance, remembering Richie's gaze into her eyes, instilling her with an adamantly frightful feeling, one which lacks security or any matter of sanctity. ]]> 2018-02-09 19:00:20 UTC https://padlet.com/2022_thomas_torres/oizgjgg5di6w/wish/230164149 2022_thomas_torres https://padlet.com/2022_thomas_torres/oizgjgg5di6w/wish/230167719 Chapter: 50

Quote: "My uncle said I could spend the summer with him. Maybe he;ll me come up to St. Paul early(Rowell,290)."
Explanation: The continuity of Eleanor's ability to not solve problems, but rather evade them is a notion which comes further into fruition. Objectively, a majority of the problems Eleanor is faced with share an equilibrium of complicity, nearly becoming paradoxical , which is what the exact scenario depicts once more.]]> 2018-02-09 19:07:36 UTC https://padlet.com/2022_thomas_torres/oizgjgg5di6w/wish/230167719 2022_thomas_torres https://padlet.com/2022_thomas_torres/oizgjgg5di6w/wish/230170099 Chapter: 51

Quote: "She should go back for Maisie. She should go back for all of them(Rowell,293)."
Explanation: Even in the face of adversary of the monolithic ordeals within Eleanor's life, glimmers of Empathy and care for others become apparent to the reader, heralding Eleanor as being innately a better person then she is typically made out to be. ]]> 2018-02-09 19:12:30 UTC https://padlet.com/2022_thomas_torres/oizgjgg5di6w/wish/230170099 2022_thomas_torres https://padlet.com/2022_thomas_torres/oizgjgg5di6w/wish/230728818 Chapter: 52

Quote: "THe first time h;d held her hand, it felt so good, that it crowded out all the bad things. It felt better than anything had ever hurt.(Rowell,302)"

Explanation: Eleanor falls back into a memory of her past in which she remembers how it felt to hold Park's hand for the first time. Now she is left to know her future will be spent without park, standing only several feet away. She propels herself into this state to reconcile over their shared memories. ]]> 2018-02-12 17:49:52 UTC https://padlet.com/2022_thomas_torres/oizgjgg5di6w/wish/230728818 2022_thomas_torres https://padlet.com/2022_thomas_torres/oizgjgg5di6w/wish/230734087 Chapter: 54

Quote:"Stupid Asian Kid. Stupid, beautiful Asian kid(Rowell,310)." 

Explanation: Eleanor comes into what presumably is a reflection of her past; her first days spent within a relative vicinity of park. These thoughts are then changed more accurately to portray how she currently feels. The original idea held was far more different and saw Park as being below her unwarrantedly, only changing within the latter half of the text. ]]> 2018-02-12 17:59:21 UTC https://padlet.com/2022_thomas_torres/oizgjgg5di6w/wish/230734087 2022_thomas_torres https://padlet.com/2022_thomas_torres/oizgjgg5di6w/wish/230739392 Chapter: 55

Quote:" but Eleanor put Park's shirt back on as soon as she got out of the shower. It smelled like him. Like his house, like potpourri. Like soap. Like happiness(Rowell316)"
Explanation: In the face of an ultimately unknowing future, Eleanor reminisces over the time, the sensual experiences, and memories they had built for the extended period of time the duo had spent with each other collectively. Knowing this, a deep sentimental feeling is instilled within Eleanor.   ]]> 2018-02-12 18:08:24 UTC https://padlet.com/2022_thomas_torres/oizgjgg5di6w/wish/230739392 2022_thomas_torres https://padlet.com/2022_thomas_torres/oizgjgg5di6w/wish/230743408 Chapter:56

Quote:"But the explanations fell apart in her hands. Everything true was too hard to write-- he was too much to lose. Everything she felt for him was too hot to touch.(Rowell,319)" 

Explanation: Eleanor had assured Park she would actively communicate with him.Due to this fact, and her ability to abide by her word, we see Eleanor attempting to forge a letter and send it to her, however, she feels as though her thoughts cannot be composed in a fully manner, or adequately for that matter. ]]> 2018-02-12 18:15:17 UTC https://padlet.com/2022_thomas_torres/oizgjgg5di6w/wish/230743408 2022_thomas_torres https://padlet.com/2022_thomas_torres/oizgjgg5di6w/wish/230745113 Chapter:57

Quote:"He'd stopped trying to bring her back. She only came back when she felt like it, anyway, in dreams and lies, and broken-down deja vu(Rowell,320)."
Explanation: 
Park comes to a stunning realization, one which entails that he does not think chasing a person, one which he can no longer see, is worth his time, and overall is nothing more than a waste of time, for he is merely following after a ghost, one which no longer follows him.  ]]> 2018-02-12 18:19:10 UTC https://padlet.com/2022_thomas_torres/oizgjgg5di6w/wish/230745113 2022_thomas_torres https://padlet.com/2022_thomas_torres/oizgjgg5di6w/wish/230747781 Chapter:58

Quote:"Eleanor didn't go to the prom with him. Cat did. Cat from work. She was thin and dark, and her eyes were as blue and flat as Breath mints. When Park held Cat's hand, it was like holding hands with a mannequin, and it was such a relief that he kissed."
Explanation: Park's further acceptance of his time away from Eleanor comes further into fruition. He seems to no longer care for Eleanor, as much as he had at the very least, but she still appears within his thoughts and dreams, while only once making an appearance through the utilization of a Postcard, one which she was gifted by the same person she would be sending the letter to, which only was three words long. ]]> 2018-02-12 18:23:48 UTC https://padlet.com/2022_thomas_torres/oizgjgg5di6w/wish/230747781
