Week 5, Junkyard Entries

*All of my junkyard quotes are things that I found not only interesting but
useful for my own writing.  
 
1. "Plain chipware on a plain and creaking wood"
-The Bean Eaters by Gwendolyn Brooks 
*This discusses something plain, but it is not plain at all. 
 
2. "is full of beads and receipts and dolls and cloths,
    tobacco crumbs, vases and fringes."
-The Bean Eaters by G. Brooks 
*These lines are such a common place list done in an interesting way.
3. "Abortions will not let you forget."
-The Mother by G. Brooks
*This is so useful because of her tone here about such a huge issue, and I like
how she has abortions as a character of action. 
4. "It is just that you never giggled or planned or cried."
-The Mother by G. Brooks
*What an interesting way to look at life.
