Pg. 693-700
1) “In flat country I watch every sunset in hopes of seeing the green ray. The green ray is a seldom-seen streak in light that rises form the sun like a spurting fountain a the moment of sunset…” (695)
This person loves to see with her eyes and she notices what happening around her. She likes to see with her eyes because she knows it’s beneficial to her. She wants to see the sunset because it would just be a memory that she would never forget and she would get to capture it with her very own eyes. She likes to notice everything and see everything because she feels like she is missing out.
2) “I’m blind as a bat, sensing only from every direction the echo of my own thin cries.” (700)
She is in the dark and she feels like she can’t use her eyes the way she uses them in the light. She feels better when her eyes are able to see things instead of not knowing where she is and stumbling everywhere. She wants to see what’s around her and so she feels helpless because she can’t see anything that is happening and she doesn’t want to miss out on anything.
