- chews food for a long time but doesn't eat it (gross)
- In prison for life for witchcraft
- She is a skin changer
- Wrinkles from age mean another thing
- It means she changes her skin into another body at night and instead of her being old
- Gives her a madonna doll
- Mother was beaten down in the prison yard because the prison could not cure her
- ^her skin was loose

A wall of fire rising
- Boy made it in the play
- Boy practices play and recites
- Parents are proud

- Studies his lines everywhere
- Talk of getting a job
- There is a list for it
- The boy forget his lines
- Like to fly, but god didn't make humans with wings so they weren't meant to fly (Foreshadowing)
- Father goes up in a hot air balloon
