Sentences of the week (all from The Help):

1. "Right in the middle of the Robert E. Lee Hotel Restaurant, he kissed me so slowly with an open mouth and every single thing in my body--my skin, my collarbone, the hollow backs of my knees, everything inside of me filled up with light." (page 201)
2. "I been in some tense situations, but to have Minny on one side a my living room and Miss Skeeter on the other, and the topic at hand be what it feel like being Negro and working for a white woman. Law, it's a wonder they hadn't been a injury." (page 214)
3. "'Things ain't never gone change in this town, Aibileen. We living in hell, we trapped. Our kids is trapped.'" (page 230)

My favorite quotation this week is sentence number 1. We have been reading many love poems in class, and this sentence should be turned into a love poem. It is a beautiful sentence.
