Status Updates From The House No One Sees

“No one saw its sleepy eyes, or shades shut like eyelids” (King 25). My main thing of note in this novel so far is how often Penelope uses sleep as a literary device. Her mom's nicknames based on her sleep habits, her sleepy house , and her own fatigue. I think this is going to develop into a metaphor for depression and potentially one for post traumatic stress disorder that might cause her to feel fatigued.
