Sentences of the Week

1. "Tucking my knees up to my chin, I wait for death." The Hunger Games

2. "If there was any dirt to be dug up, she would home in on it like a cruise missile." The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo

3. "Salander fitted into this picture about as well as a buffalo at a boat show." The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo

For the sentences I chose this week, I mainly chose them because they described a character in the story. For the first quote, it is describing Katniss while she is hiding away from the other tributes. Thinking that she is week, she decides to just sit and wait for her own death to come. As for the second and third quotes, they are both describing the character Lisbeth Salander in the book The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. Lisbeth is a very dark character with a mysterious past. She dresses in all black, has multiple piercings, and keeps all of her emotions to herself. However, she is very good at her job, working for the Milton Security Company. In the business world of people dressed in suits and ties, Lisbeth undoubtedly does not fit in.
