Response to Looking Around by Lamott Anne:

1.    “If you look at people and just see sloppy clothes or rich clothes, you’re going to get them wrong”

I like this quote because it explains the saying “don’t judge a book by its cover”. The clothing on a person should explain to you how they are as a person because the person can be dressing on their mood. Or they can be going to a interview and are trying impress someone.

2.    “I honestly think in order to be a writer, you have to learn to be reverent. If not, why are you writing? Why are you here?”

I don’t believe this quote because sometimes you have to break the rules in order to get your point across some times. You can’t always be reverent because you sometimes write for the public and the public likes honesty.

3.    “Sometimes you run into someone, regardless of age or sex, whom you know absolutely to be an independently operating part of the Whole that goes on all the time inside yourself, and the eye-motes go click and you hear the tribal tones of voice resonate, and there it is--- you recognize them.”

I like this quote because it is a fact. There’s a person for everyone where you can’t help but change for the better or sometimes the worst. I believe that there’s another half to everyone because we don’t feel complete til we encounter that other person. When do encounter them is when I believe the inner us comes out.
