Quote one: "If I could do anything else," My father finally said, "I'd be either a grocer or an undertaker. Because we all must eat and we all must die." -Edwidge's father page 123

Character Judgment I think this shows that her father is someone who considers everything deeply. I have noticed this with other quotes in the past, like 'have you enjoyed your life,' but this one really stood out to me. It sort of confused me and I had to re-read it. It shows that he's thoughtful and considerate and probably one to not make quick judgments. I don't really see how these things could be a dream, because when you ask someone else what they'd want to be if they were not what they were you'd expect something elaborate or probably something that made a lot of money. Even though this does take place a long time ago I still think what we wants are very simple.

Question one: What does he mean by "everybody most eat and everybody most die"? I know that is true but I don't get why he would want to work with the things that make the necessities of life.

Quote two: "She attracts bad, just like she did Pressior," Uncle Joseph would say, "but she's not a bad person." Uncle Joseph said about Marie Micheline, page 131.

Character Judgment: I've always known that Uncle Joseph was a really kind person, but this quote shows me that he looks farther than first impression. I think this is a really good thing to have, and I think it's more of doing it yourself then personality. It showed me that Uncle Joseph is a kind, generous and forgiving person who wants nothing but friends and family that love him. (:

Question two: Who/what is Pressior?
