Miss Lottie's son

Careful, cautious

An interruption of the "perfect ugliness" of the surroundings

To make up for; to repay for services

Imaginative language not meant to be taken literally

The overarching theme of the story as well as the theme of the other stories in this unit

To strengthen, build up

The verbal expression of sensory experience

The time period that the story took place in

A difficult or perplexing situation or problem

An interruption in the sequence of events to relate events that occurred in the past

Where the story takes place

To let go, give up
