The Torn Skirt (117-156)

Summary
Sara's life is now taking a turn down the wrong path. She is now drinking liquor and taking speed, I think that shes giving up on herself because she is going down to a lower level. When Sara was in a house called the blue house, a guy with a gun, who she met in the house, told her to go dance with an old man, after dancing with him she saw a girl that was a good dancer and she went to get closer so that she could start to dance like her, as she got closer to the girl, she realized that she was looking at herself in the mirror. She notice that she was a good dancer and she thought to herself that she wanted to be friends with a girl just like her. Sara must now be comfortable with the kind of person she is since she wants to be friends with someone that's just like her. Sara got arrested for being in the wrong place at the wrong time with possession of a knife. Her life is now going from bad to worse.




Quotation
"I saw some stuff I was probably too young to see" (Godfrey 124)





Reaction
When I read this quote, I felt as if she really didn't know what she was talking about because, shes drinking, smoking and doing other types of drugs. She is also hanging out with older men and doing things that children should not be doing. So when she said that she saw some things that she was too young to see, that didn't make any sense to me. She shouldn't be seeing or experiencing any of the things she is seeing and doing at this point.
