@lilylouwrites #luawl No, literally! Good thing Babette wasn't making the food for them anyway; otherwise, her feelings would certainly have been hurt

#luawl Isak Dinesen describing the outfits of the two sisters, Martine & Philippa:

@mydubiousfacts #luawl I loved the rooster coop metaphor because rooster's are aggressive with one another. Rooster's in a coop together will often peck each other apart, which connects powerfully with the way Adiga portrays the drivers.

@king_renee50564 @little_red_hen3 #luawl until she's trying to get into college, then she tells the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth (Satrapi 284)

#luawl Satrapi out here validating our memes on novels full of death, war, and violence: "We can only feel sorry for ourselves when our misfortunes are still supportable once that limit is crossed, the only way to bear the unbearable is to laugh at it" (266).

@egrundi123 #luawl I love this line because if identity is communal and other people's perceptions help to define us, then when we lose a person's perception of us in our life, we lose a part of ourselves too, and a part of our own identity dies.

#luawl 100/10 advice from Marji's Grandma: "In life, you'll meet a lot of jerks. If they hurt you, tell yourself that it's because they're stupid" (150).

@little_red_hen3 #luawl Literally! That description of Ashima making croquettes for the Christmas party (292)...

#luawl One of the most relatable quotes in The Namesake: "Gogol finds himself capable of doing little at his parents' but eat and sleep" (114).

@amandaghall #luawl That part made me so sad because Mr. Spiegelman was apologetically trying to tell his son why he was so concerned with saving everything, and in the moment, his son was... not very understanding

[Katherine Rose @KatherineRB19]

@mydubiousfacts #luawl I also loved that the story itself was told in Vladek's choppy English--very postcolonial of Art to tell his father's story in his father's voice

[Katherine Rose @KatherineRB19]

#luawl As a broke college student, I find Mr. Spiegelman's drive to save money at ALL costs to be incredibly relatable

[Katherine Rose @KatherineRB19]

#luawl Maus contains many instances of unexpected goodbyes, illustrating the importance of cherishing people while they are with you: "We watched until they disappeared from our eyes...it was the last time ever we saw them; but that we couldn't know" (110).

@egrundi123 #luawl Literally! The fact that his accent is unbelievably English, but his preference in dog names is what gives him away:

#luawl Caravaggio to the random woman after sneaking into her room and stealing her camera:

@amandaghall #luawl OR! When Kip finally realizes his European indoctrination: "I grew up with traditions from my country, but later, more often, from your country" (283).

#luawl The English Patient's type:

@amandaghall #luawl Also, the Imperialists did a terrible job representing the tenets of the Christian faith

#luawl Antoinette is the parrot, Coco, and Mr. Rochester clipped her wings!
