At the beginning of Forever …, the protagonist, Katherine, and her best friend Erica, who are both seniors in high school, attends a New Year's Eve party. The party is given by Sybil, Erica’s cousin, who in the book is described as having a poor self-esteem because she is overweight. At the party, Katherine meets Michael. The next day, Michael asks Katherine to go for a drive with him. Later in the chapter, Katherine describes her mother, Diana who works in the children's room at the library, as thin and tall. Jamie, Katherine's younger sister, is also introduced in this chapter. Jamie is in the seventh grade and is very creative and artistic, unlike her older sister, Katherine. Jamie and Katherine, despite their age difference, appear to be friends. They are very supportive of one another. They have no sibling rivalries
Quote:
"our fingerprints dont fade from the lives we touch"(Blume,43)
Reaction:
Within this metaphor, the author is able to express something concrete, like fingerprints. When you are touching ones life, it doesn’t have to be physical. It can also be an abstract. My perspective of this quote is that when someone does well for another, it will never die away. The good we do can never be forgotten nor erased like a fingerprint. Fingerprints are forever, and actions are forever. This sentence is short, quick, simple but stunning.
