Boss line: "The second strange thing was Hannah's coming into her mother's room with an empty bowl and a peck of Kentucky Wonders and saying,'Mamma, did you ever love us?'..."
This is a boss line because it shows how Hannah has internal conflict about her childhood and her mother loving her. This might explain the comment earlier in the book: "You love her, like I love Sula. I just don't like her. Thats the difference." (57) This line also leads you to believe there will be future conflict between the mother and child. It also leads Eva to explain why she burned her son. This line is great because it shows conflict between characters, sets up a future conflict, and explains past actions by Hannah.
To me, this was a boss line of the entire book. It really shows everything about the relationship between the two. I think out of the entire bunch of people, the author made these two have the most interesting relationship.
