Quotation Number Four

Page 231, Paragraph 6
    '"You really are not a reliable person, Lilli.  I know my children have grown fond of you but I have to think of my family.  Our needs come first."'
    I chose this quotation because this is, as I said in the first journal entry, the aftermath of the climax.  You think everything has been resolved and then this happens.  These words create that feeling of everything going wrong right when you thought the big problem was solved. This proves correct when Lilli talks to Mrs. Karr, who tells her she's going to have to move to New Westminster.
    Text to Self: When I first started playing piano, in grade two, I practiced every day without anyone having to tell me.  I moved forward quite quickly, and was doing really well... until grade three.  I didn't go and practice on my own anymore, and had to be reminded constantly to sit and play the piano.  My mom said she was surprised that I wasn't doing it anymore (following with the "not being reliable" thing).  This, like my text to self connection for quote three, sounds very different from what's happening at this point in the story, but the line of thinking is the same: you think everything's fine, but then you realize it's not. 
    Text to World: This sounds really, really strange and gruesome, but the connection I made for this quote was something I heard from my younger sister, Miranda: if a tiger is really hungry, it will eat it's cubs.  This is my reasoning: tigers created their cubs.  Mrs. Davidson took Lilli into her home.  The tiger eats its cubs.  Mrs Davidson tells Lilli she has to leave.  The relationship between the caregiver and the young... mammal is destroyed in both cases (though a little more gruesomely in the tiger situation).  The tiger decides that its life is more important than its cub's life.  Mrs. Davidson tells Lilli that her family is more important than keeping Lilli.    
    Text to Text: Last year we read a picture book in drama class.  I forget what it was called, but it was about a boy and his younger brother, who are home in the evenings when their mother works.  One night, the boy's friends come over, and they want him to be part of this gang.  He has to prove himself by doing graffiti over the graffiti another gang did.  He does it, but the other gang shows up and  they want to fight him.  The boy manages to get home in time, and they think they're safe, but then he gets in trouble with his mother for going out when she wasn't home.  This is similar to what happened withLilli; they find Max, and she thinks everything is fine, but then Mrs. Davidson tells hr she can't live there anymore.  In both this book and The Greenies the authoritive figure decides hat the main character is not reliable.
