"Well your nose points downward so I figured that's because you are always looking down at the ground or something." Pg.46
This made me think about how off judgment some people can be, especially kids. Most kids don't realize that they are being judgmental or might be offending a person. Adults do realize but most still decide to say what is on their mind which often leads to very hurt feelings. I don't quite understand why even a child would make the assumption that because your nose points down, you look down a lot. It seems like it was a question that was just meant to make the person asked feel bad about themselves.
"Yous stink! Didn't you bathe at all?" Pg.48
This just interested me because she didn't bathe only because she had grown up in her culture where it was rude to have anyone see you naked. She truly made a gross sacrifice because she knew, based on her culture, that it was wrong to bathe and be seen.
