- I want my sweater!
- I just liked to listen to Lynn and to talk to Bera-Bera and to eat rice candies.

- Katie and her family are moving to Georgia because her parents lost their jobs and are looking for work there, but the reason Katie and Lynn are crying is because they both think they left something at their old house.

- Katie's dad goes to get a room at a motel and lets her come with him. The woman at the desk tells them, "Indians stay in the back rooms," and when Katie tells her they are not Indian she says, "Mexicans too." When Katie corrects her again she gets mad at her and yells at her. The woman doesn't even know how to categorize Katie and her father, but because they look different than her she decides she doesn't like them.
- Katie's family has just made it to their new home, and it is smaller and shabbier than they expected. Katie's mother is upset that there isn't very much room, but the family doesn't have enough money to buy a better house like their uncle.
