And then THIS thing:
Revisit one section in the story you tagged with a sticky note or where you had a question. Write a statement or question about that section in the story.
"The woman’s hair is set in a mass of curlers and all of those curlers are made of paper money, here a dollar bill, there a five-dollar bill. The girl’s hair is arrayed in curls, but some of them are beginning to droop and
