How we cite our quotes: (Poem Title, Stanza)
Quote #1
Life is full of choices. We don't always make good ones. It seems to Kristina you gotta be crazy to open your windows, invite the demons in. Bree throws rocks at the feeble glass, laughs. (Choices, Choices.1-6)
By her own evaluation, Kristina may be overly cautious, but considering the kinds of activities she's involved with, that's not exactly a bad thing. Assuming the persona of Bree is what allows her to abandon her guarded nature and make some bad decisions in the process.
Quote #2
He pulled a bindle from his pocket, tapped the sparkly powder inside.
Cooked up fresh yesterday.
Mother Kristina said no. The monster stormed Bree's door.
That's my girl. Let's forget the bulls*** and fly. (So of Course I Did a Really Stupid Thing.1-4)
It seems like in the early days of her relationship with the monster, Kristina fights an internal battle between her tendency to play it safe and Bree's desire to throw all caution to the wind. Perhaps because of the drug's addictive nature, Bree's choice wins out.
Quote #3
"Kristina is who they made me. Bree is who I choose to be." (So of Course I Did a Really Stupid Thing.5)
Kristina's issues aren't all about crank; they're also the result of having been squeezed into the mold of her parents' expectations for way too long. While there are a lot of factors involved, it's getting away from her family that gives her the freedom to choose to be Bree.
