Favorite Quote from Towers Falling by Jewell Parker Rhodes
To me, Miss Garcia's quote means that no matter what happens, if you have a strong foundation or base, anything is possible. Miss Garcia means this literally because the building that the kids made was strong from the gound up, but it also has other meanings: Deja, Sabeen, and Ben have a strong friendship. America has a strong foundation, and we will get through what happened to us together.
Skyscrapers
A strong foundation supports everything. Skyscrapers, engineer's dreams. It's amazing what people can build.
