Quotation #2
page 40

""Dogs are dead." Caddy said, "And when Nancy fell in the ditch and Roskus shot her and the buzzards came and undressed her.""

This quotation really characterizes Caddy.  She is straightforward and will tell it exactly as she sees it.  This quotation is in the context of when the children are ushered out of the house because of a funeral.  Caddy says also that only "niggers have funerals."  This is a snapshot puzzle piece of how children see death, and other customs that seem natural to older people.  Children may not have the clearest ideas, but they do come up with particular theories that do make sense.
