THE GIRL FROM EVERYWHERE by Heidi Heilig
I just really like this part. Casual mention of LGBT, cute, sweet idea about spouses. I loved the whole idea of Ayen as a character in this book.
But in accordance to their beliefs about death, Ayen was still with her, doing those little annoying things that wives do, like make you drop your breakfast or trip over a coil of rope. p54 The Girl from Everywhere by Heidi Heilig
This is a good sentence to get students to think. Do they agree?
We have shelves full of maps of places that only used to exist. Everything unique is vanishing. p 72 The Girl from Everywhere by Heidi Heilig
The awkwardness of how we speak actually put on the page-- unknown antecedent
On one of our rides through Ka'a'awa Valley, we discovered a trail leading to an ancient temple, back behind the abandoned sugar mill. I've sketched it on the next page. They say human sacrifices were made there. At the temple, not the sugar mill. p 117 The Girl from Everywhere by Heidi Heilig
More awkwardness- developing romance
"I have a fine eye for all things, amira, which is why I'm a thief and not a tailor."
I laughed in spite of myself. "I just hope I do those fine fabrics justice."
He looked at me then, with one eyebrow up, and said something under his breath in what sounded like Persian
"I didn't understand that."
"You weren't meant to." p145 The Girl from Everywhere by Heidi Heilig
Just something beautiful I liked.
"Why hold off the inevitable?"
"Why, for the sake of the ephemeral, Miss Song," he said. "And in the hope of making it last." p 326 The Girl from Everywhere by Heidi Heilig
Foreshadowing? Good example of things we ought to watch out for as readers for potential clues for later.
"Maybe I should have asked her about my future."
"I'm glad you didn't," he said, his face grim once again as he stared out into the shadows on the bronze shore. p 352 The Girl from Everywhere by Heidi Heilig
Life lesson/ something interesting to discuss
I wish I could tell them war will only make it worse, but I know what it is to need to fight, through the tide is inexorable. The alternative is doing nothing, which is worse than defeat. Sometimes we fight not to win, but to avoid surrender. The Girl from Everywhere by Heidi Heilig Letter in appendix-- Hong Kong March 7, 1838
War, like history, is only easy to watch from a safe distance.
