My indirect quote that struck me as being a perfect example of an indirect characterization was from the vignette," There Was an Old Woman She Had So Many Children She Didn't Know What to Do". The quote was, "the kids bend trees and bounce between cars and dangle upside down from knees and almost break like fancy museum vases you cant replace." This quote struck me mostly because it was just such a perfect example of an indirect quote. It was definitely indirect and yet you are still able to know what the author is trying to say right away and it is very clear.

The other quote that struck me was from the vignette, "Those Who Don't" and this time this was a direct quote. This example is also a very good example for a direct quote even though that is not the reason that I like it. The quote is, "They think we are dangerous". This quote definitely struck me because it almost sounds so innocent like a small child is saying the quote and it sounds like they don't understand why other people think they are dangerous. It almost made me feel sad when I read it.
