Because I am Furniture (pgs 285- 352)

Summary:             
              This last section of this book is one is one of the more intense and fast going parts. in this section many important things happen. Kyler apologizes for what happen at the dance, she won a volley ball match, she catches her father about to do something to Angeline and she tells on her father. Yes she tells on him, she's speaks out the truth, what everyone already knew and for that she got something. Kyler apologizing is itself an explanation, therefore there is no information needed for that, and her winning a game does the same. But what needs explaining is Anke finding her father with Ange and her telling on him.
              When Ange and Anke needed to get some information about  government law for government law the two girls plan to meet at Anke's fathers office since he works there. Ange arrives there first and Anke second comes second because she was chatting with Rona. When Anke arrives in a hall on the same floor that her fathers office is on and she hears a small wine. She goes into her fathers office and she finds him "with a small smile leaning toward the armchair, zipper on its way down Angeline, her skirt tweaked, swelling closing one eye, pleading softly, no, no." When Anke sees this she screams no and her father is shocked. when Anke goes home she tell her sister what happened and that she will tell on her father. Her sister tells her brother and her brother, tells their mother, and they are frightened, warning her not to. When the father comes home he says sorry that he couldn't give Anke a ride, trying to play off what had just happened. He looks at her with daring eyes, and she looks back with dare me eyes. she calls him a liar when he says he was in a meeting. Then she tell all her family what he was trying to do and with that he throws a chair at her. she wakes up at the hospital with her mother by her side. The father is gone and wont be back, because Anke's mother saw the light and kicked him out, he was sent to prison and they burned his chair.
Quotation:
"she was supposed to be outside our house of horrors and I let her in."
Reaction:
This quote shows Anke's thoughts after she finds her father and Ange in the office. the kind of ironic part of this is that she never wanted to bring her in their lives she didn't like hanging out with Ange, she always wanted to stay away. Ange was the one who let herself in she always swooned over the father and lit up when she saw him. It was not Anke that cause this it was Ange, though it wasn't her fault in all ways, she just had more part in it then Anke.

Because I Am Furniture (pgs142-213)

Summary: In these pages Anke speaks about how Rona is the only one she tells things to. its not really that she wants to, but she just kind of feels like she has too, like its an obligation. Rona is Anke's best friend and they are not even in the same grade. they are friends through volleyball though even after and before playing and practicing their games they hang out, they even eat lunch together and walk the halls.              
        Even though the title of this novel is because i am furniture i feel as if the person who is represented as furniture is in actuality is the father. the reason why i feel this is because of how the father's chair is treated and how it is talked about. when the son gets mad at the father he takes it out on the chair and kicks it. Then when the father yells and hurts the daughter for wearing makeup she took a screw that was attached to the chair out. Every time the father's children get mad at the father they do something to the chair. The father and Anke are both represented as furniture but in different ways.

Quote: "And then the demon is gone, so i can mumble "sorry"" (pg 158)

Reaction: This quote is important because it shows how she is getting a voice and how she is able to notice her voice. She is able to talk to her sister and express her feelings. She rashes out to Yaicha when she interrupts her conversation with their mom and then she apologizes when she notices.

because i am furniture (pgs 214-285)

Summary: In this part of the novel Anke gets the surprise of her life as Kyler askes her out! He flashes her a grin, rubs a hand down his sleeve and speaks. "I was wondering if you were going to the harvest dance." well he kind of asked her out. She was nervous just like him and she panicked. She said she was going to go in a group with Rona because she didn't think she could just dance with one person all night. At the dance when they were finally dancing together something happened. They were both dancing, both of them excited, then anke feels something on her hip and they both pull back a little, both embarrassed.
                Something else that happens is that Darren for the first time was watching Anke practice, though when she acknowledges him he leaves, so swiftly it was like he was never there. there is also more to this fraction of the story involing her father. after catching Yaicha, the sister, reading Cosmo, the father hit Yaicha across the face. With all that happens Anke steps into thought. Why doesn't her mother do anything, why doesn't somebody say something. Then she realizes that they choose not to anything, none of them.

Quotation: "So all the pressure is on me, the Youngest and Most Bothered"

Analysis: The quote above is important because it illustrates foreshadowing. If the brother, sister, and mother and definaly not the father tells she will have to.
