Quote- ""You're so self-righteous," she teased me. "Melodramatic"( Sonnenberg 107).
Reflection- The narrator gives very specific details about her mother. She takes time to talk about her families life and her life as a infant and toddler. She has very adequate details that answers the reader's questions.
the reflection section needs stronger interaction with the quotation. Comment on the author's style and how it relates to the book as a whole.
