How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #1
The assignment was to do another self-portrait. I went abstract, as in: blob. Degas had dancers, I have blobs. Broken, glued-together blobs. (2.10)
Why does Jude identify with this broken blob? In what ways does she resemble it? And we don't just mean her lame haircut.
Quote #2
I know from doing portraits that you have to look at someone a really long time to see what they're covering up, to see their inside face, and when you do see it and get it down, that's the thing that makes people freak out about how much a drawing looks like them. Brian's inside face is worried. (3.264-3.265)
Hmm. We're guessing that Brian was worried about being gay. Later, we find out he's been bullied in the past.
