Quote
"My candle burns at both ends;
It will not last the night;
But ah,my foes, and oh, my friends--
It gives a lovely light!" (pg.47) This quote was said by Edna St. Vincent Millay right before the section of Tuesday starts. I think this quote shows significance because for example no matter how much Anna does for Kate it is never enough but at some point appreciated. This quote signifies to me that you should apprecaite what you have and I think Anna does that for the most part.

Theme
I think the theme so far in the book is that love conquers all in its own way.
