On my synthesis page I talked about important quotes in the story "Clean" by: Amy Reed. In this essay I will be talking about three of those quotes and I'll elaborate on how important this quotes are to the story
         One very important quote was " The scene does not end with fireworks. The girl did not get arrested or overdose. She just finally got caught. But the truth is, she never really tried to hide it. The truth is, the father just decided one day to open his eyes. And there she was, right in front of him. There she was, right where she had been. This quote is very meaningful because it shows how Eva has been treated, how she has never been really cared for. She is started to open up. Another important quote was "They were watching the game, and my dad saw me and said 'Come here you little pussy'. So I walked over even though I was sure he was going to kick my ass. But instead, he gave me a beer and said ' Drink this, it will put hair on your chest'. This quote is meaningful because it shows how Jason's dad got him to start drinking and it was his dads fault that he is an alcoholic teen in rehab. The last but not least was "The truth is, the girl wanted to feel something else, to get out of her body. The truth is, that was the best part, Do you know what it feels like to become someone new? Do you know what it feels like to do something as easy as swallow a pill and be transformed into someone you don't hate. This quote is extremely meaningful how it shows that Eva started drugs because of how much she wasn't pleased of herself and how much she wanted to change.
          In conclusion, there were many meaningful and important quotes in  the story "Clean" by: Amy Reed.
