- I want Bera-Bera!
- I want my sweater!
- I just liked to listen to Lynn and to talk to Bera-Bera and to eat rice candies.
- Sometimes people would pay me a few pennies to talk to them. My sister encouraged this enterprise, and soon we were rich. We kept the money in a moldy hole in the tile under the bathtub.
- 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 left her toy, Bera-Bera, and Lynn left her sweater. Despite all of the much larger problems the family is facing, the girls are only worried about loosing their comfort objects.
- School sure is boring, isn't it?
- Katie and her family are staying in a motel on their way to Georgia and she is thinking about how she is different from Lynn, but doesn't mind because she "just liked to listen to Lynn and to talk to Bera-Bera and to eat rice candies." Her life consists of these easy, simple things and they distract her from all of the difficult things her family is facing.
- Are my veins shaped like a 'T' for 'Trouble'?
- No, ma'am.
- Katie's family has now lived in Georgia for a year or two and Katie has adopted an accent that people sometimes pay to listen to. Even though it's only a few pennies per person, Katie is convinced they are rich. In the real world, it isn't very much money, but Katie doesn't realize that because she has never had to worried much about money.
- There's only space for two small beds and one small desk in their room. Where will we put Katie's desk when she starts school?
- It is Katie's first day of school and she is trying to reach out to two other girls at recess and they ignore her. The other children at Katie's school are rude to her before they even know her just because of the way she looks. Not only does this happen to her at school, but to everyone in her family.
- 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.
