Title: I see you Everywhere

Louisa Jardine is the older sister. She is careful, exact and wants a good marriage with kids. Her sister Clem is the rebel. She is uncontainable, individualistic, and committed to her work but not so much committed to men who find her interesting. Moving back and forth into homes, the sisters begin to become closer. The real life conflicts like envy are shown from each point of view also. For example, coming from Louisas point of view, Clem has a gift of making people trust her and feel sympathy for her.
Giving the point of view of both sisters, Glass gives vivid details of how the two sisters become so close while moving so far apart. Louisa ends up lives in New York and Clem moves to the Rocky Mountains. Like most sisters, they don't get along a lot of the time and sometimes they also envy each other, but at the end of the day they need each other.
Quote: "descending on an open-air stairway to the bright hot roar of an airfield, makes me feel significant, like a queen" (Glass 230)
This quote shows how Louisa has grown. The events in her life have changed her. Like after being in the hospital for so long, have changed her point of view on things. After being taken away from nature she is now grateful for simple things and can now see the smaller things more clearly. For example, nature is more beautiful to her when before material things were more important.
