Example:

Daisy (speaking): I'm glad it's a girl. And I hope she'll be a fool--that's the best thing a girl can be in this world, a beautiful little fool" (Chapter 1, p.21).

Significance: This quote is significant because it shows Daisy's attitude toward being a woman. Being verbally (and perhaps physically) abused herself and basically dominated by Tom, she is saying that she hopes her daughter is too dumb to realize what a miserable life it can be for a woman. At this point in the book we are not sure if she is being sarcastis.

If you finish early and you did not complete last week's post, do that next!
