The Torn Skirt (79-117)

Summary
Sara is now living on the rooftop of King's hotel. That rooftop was where her and China escaped to after robbing a guy of his money and dropping his wallet from the rooftop to the ground. Sara now has this idea to cut her hair and put a rip in her skirt so that she wouldn't be recognized by people. She wasn't eating, the last time she had a meal was when her father cooked for her before he left. All shes been doing is smoking and doing cocaine and walking the streets trying to look for Justine since China ran back to her family. After Sara was found passed out on the bathroom floor of a place called Le Gardin, a man called the street outreach worker and they put her in a place called the White Oaks, which is the temporary shelter for troubled girls.


Quotation
"After I told her to go away, Amber wouldn't leave me alone" (Godfrey 85)

Reaction
When I read this quote i felt as if Sara was doing the same exact thing as Amber, her room mate was doing to her. The more she told Amber to go away the more Amber came back. I feel as though in a way Justine is trying to tell Sara to leave her alone and running away from her but every time Sara sees Justine again she tries to follow her and go where ever she goes but shes not getting the point that Justine doesn't want to be bothered with her.
