Annie’s Growth
“We passed by a house in which a girl I used to like and was sure
I couldn’t live without had lived. Once, when she had mumps, I
went to visit her against my mother’s wishes, and we sat on her
bed and ate the cure of roasted, buttered sweet potatoes that had
been placed on her swollen jaws, held there by a piece of white
cloth.” (p. 44)

Conclusion
The use of imagery portrays Annie outgrowing her home, and
emphasises the need for her to find her own identity away from
her parents.
“They made an unexpected sound, as if a vessel filled with liquid
had been placed on its side and now was slowly emptying
out.” (p. 48)
