Section 3: Summary (Pg. 120 - end)

The last section was exceptionally the greatest part of all. In this passage, new discoveries were uncovered by optomistic Annie, especially after everything that happened in the last few moments of the book. During all of the emotional points of when her mother was impregnated, had the miracle child and all of the learning experiences in between, Annie took in a lot. She truly experienced the meaning of life this time, through the small, intricate and elaborate details around her. Watching the birth of her brother, Joey, was obviously significant in her life but even some details, as simple as running and drawing, became outlandishly meaningful to her. She finally knew to notice the inferior details of her surroundings and how make them worth going deeper into. Ever since she received the apple drawing project from art class, she began to take full consideration of what lies around her and how she can use it. She took advantage of the apple and used it as a guide for her life. Even though the apple wilts away from the bites of her grandfather and out of her grasp, she still took the time to appreciate it as if it was an ever-lingering dream, just like she does with her ever-wilting grandfather. She also watched the apple at every stage and every view, like she studies and draws her grandfather's profile and experiences the stages of the up-coming child in her mother's stomach. Now Annie knows what life could truly be, beyond what you can just see.
