The quote: "It is easy to conclude, from the general slovenliness of the place, that this is a sanctuary in which womankind, with her tools of magic, the broom and mop, has very infrequent access." This quote struck me, because you can just imagine women hard at work with their tools of magic, trying to get into this room, but unable to. It gives you a picturesque description of the unclean room. You can see the dust, and the papers carelessy thrown onto the floor. It struck me, because he made "pig sty" sound intelligent and precise. (Pg. 8)
The quote: "In part, therefore, the attachment which I speak of is the mere sensuious sympathy of dust for dust." This quote struck me. It struck me because you can see the sorrow in the narrator's face as he walks the streets of his beloved Salem. He speaks of decendants being born and dying, being all that there was to life. So in this quote, he speaks of the mere sensuious sympathy of dust for dust. It struck me because you can imagine people spontaneously turning to dust. (Pg. 9)
