  3. Metaphor Every good pimp is a mother. (186)

  4. It hadn’t occurred to Jules to take my photograph in years. He didn’t seem to realize that one day I wouldn’t be a kid anymore. There would be nothing to remember me by. (187)

  5. Lots of times when children draw a person on a blank sheet of paper, they don’t draw any background at all, just a person standing there without any context. That was me. (188) Metaphor

  6. The curtain between the acts in my life was always a dense forest. It was impossible for me not to know what was going to happen when the trees parted. (188) Metaphor or Juxtaposition

  7. So many weird, unusual things happened in one day, and yet the days were exactly the same. And apparently, when you have no future, there is really no such thing as time anyway... We wanted to be convinced that feeling bad was a good thing. (189-90)

  8. You could not make a kid with bad memories into a kid with good memories. (191)

  12. I realized why Ralphy had closed his eyes. It was because he was praying. I was praying that someone would come up and wrap their arms around me and hide my nakedness. (197)

  13. “Did you see him just get the hell out of there! He’d been planning it all along. Don’t tell me that bird isn’t a master criminal.” (199)
