I like this passage because i understand what this character is trying to say. Once you've lived in a place for so long things start to become repetitive and boring. You start to see the people and see how shallow or how amazing people are and you can always spot the difference. Trees start to look basic and the flowers start to look unoriginal, everything has been seen and has been done. But even though you're used to it and you are bored of what you've seen not everyone is used to it. A lot of people look around and see things differently and see it as beautiful even if you don't. And sometimes i wish i could see the beauty of my hometown like other people do.

Memorable Passage
“I think this is the ugliest place I’ve ever seen. Not just here. The whole state.” I hear my parents telling me not to be negative, which is funny because I’ve always been the happy one. It’s Eleanor who was moody. “I used to think that. But then I realized, believe it or not, it’s actually beautiful to some people. It must be, because enough people live here, and they can’t all think it’s ugly.” He smiles out at the ugly trees and the ugly farmland and the ugly kids as if he can see Oz. As if he can really, truly see the beauty that’s there. In that moment I wish I could see it through his eyes.”

I think we all take where we live for granted...Sometimes it takes leaving for a while, going somewhere I think will be really great, to see how good I've got it at home.
