an abundance of katherines: chapter six - pages 41-47 (becca)

Colin is working on his Theorem when Lindsey comes back with the first aid kit. They end up discussing some of it and they go to see the Archduke. We learn that Lindsey's only boyfriend is named Colin as well. We get to The Middle (of the beginning) We are given insight into Colin as a third-grade boy and his first Katherine.

memorable lines:
page 43:
"'Love is graphable!'" Colin said defensively.
{This is a really funny line.}

"Lindsey Lee Wells and Colin stared at each other dead in the eye for a very long time, until finally her smile collapsed into a gentle laugh."
{The idea the imagery of a collapsing smile into a laugh is so beautiful.}

page 44:
"'No, tell me,' he said insistently. He didn't like secrets kept from him. Being on the outside of something annoyed him - more than it should have, really."
{This sounds exactly like Colin. And I can understand this in him, although it does give him a more self involved appearance.}

page 47:
"It was his first kiss, and her lips felt like the coming winter - cold and dry and chapped - and it occurred to Colin that the kiss didn't feel nearly as good as the sound of her asking if she could be his girlfriend."
{Colin, to me, seems like the boy who would say this. From what we've learned, he's not very good at being alone. This information shows that he's been this way for a long time and he needs somebody.}
