Nana is drinking her feelings away from losing someone she misses

Sweating, shaking, I shutter in fear

In this part of the book, Nana finally reveals what the sophisticated life in the dome was supposed to accomplish. She talks about a man who showed her what she knows. But, she never names him. We know that he had big ideas and even bigger dreams but we don't know what happened to him or anything.

"The hospital was an unnerving place, and I couldn't get comfortable in the bed next to Nana's." This phrase adds to the story by allowing the reader to understand the speaker's situation and uncombtorableness within the hospital.

Sebastian's grandma was taken to the hospital after her stroke. We are still waiting to find out her condition. Sebastian got roped in with Jaden and took a hit of one of cigarettes but Jaden's mom quickly caught him.

Life is like a puzzle
Full of intricate parts
But when the pieces connect
That is when our life truly starts

Some words that set the tone of the story are "affirmative", "with startling success", "metaphysical beings", "that's your quota", and "Is your room arranged to specification." I chose these phrases because they show how strict this family is. This sets the tone and allows us to see the relationship between this family. If the characters responded with yes or something lighter, than it would change the tone.
