Five-Star Quote

“People who live on hills sleep so close to the stars they forget those of us who live too much on Earth. They don’t look down at all except to be content to live on hills. They have nothing to do with last week’s garbage or fear of rats. Night comes. Nothing wakes them but the wind.” (page 86-87)

This quote jumps out at me because it has a profound meaning. It is saying that the people with money don’t care or bother with the poor, because they have a happy little life up in their big house, not having to worry about paying the bills. This makes me upset that this is so obvious that a little girl would be able to notice it and remember so many years later so that she could write it in her book. This quote is also thought-provoking because it makes you think about the people that are less fortunate than you. It makes you feel guilty because if you think about it even the middle class people are like the people living on the hill, because the majority of us don’t bother to pay attention to the people living in poverty with nothing. We are to content with our own lives and think we are to busy to worry about the people with less than us.
