Animal Dreams

So far in this book there have been a lot of memorable quotes but my favorite quote so far is when Emelina called Codi a "Home-Ignorer." I liked this quote because it has more than one meaning to it. The first meaning, and what it was originally supposed to mean when Codi moved in, is that she doesn't fix up her home. This is right, but I like the second meaning which is that she doesn't feel at home. An example of this when she goes back to her hometown of Grace she is uncomfortable and doesn't feel as if she belongs.
My favorite character from the book so far is probably Loyd. I would choose him as my favorite character because he is laid back and slightly unpredictable. It is obvious that he is relaxed, but the time I saw him as unpredictable is when Codi talked to him about how cockfighting is wrong and half an hour later he quit a hobby he had for years.
I feel that the most important scene from this book so far is when Codi did the water test with the highschool students and they found out there wasn't anything living in the water. I thought this was the most important part because it lead to a lot of other events happening. Not only did it lead to her finding out about the dam, but it also lead to her speaking to the sewing club and traveling to Tucson selling peacock pinatas and much more.
