I could hear Mom in the next room singing while she worked on one of her paintings.
Right here shows that her mom isn't the type that would pay attention. She's also in the kitchen with a knife and other dangerous things around her, while her mom has headphones in she should at least be helping her.
I put it in my mouth and was stunned by the sharp sweetness. "It's really good!"
This right here is dialogue, it shows how her experience was when she first tried the gum. Also shows that she rarely gets nice things at home. so it was a great experience for her while she was in the hospital, that's also a reason why she didn't wanna leave.
Every couple of days
This short area right here is a sign to tell us how long she's been in the hospital. And how bad her injuries were.
The nurses and doctors always asked how I was feeling and if I was hungry or needed anything. The nurses brought me delicious meals three times a day, with fruit cocktail or Jell-O for dessert, and changed the sheets even if they still looked clean.
This right here shows that at home she probably doesn't get the same love or attention from her parents. And maybe she doesn't have food at home, so the food the nurses brought and them changing her sheets even though they looked clean might've been a shock to her.
That was the thing about the hospital. You never had to worry about running out of stuff like food or ice or even chewing gum.
With this sentence in society some poeple like one place better than their home. At home some people don't have food or water, even clothes so they might stay at one place longer because they have all that stuff. And that connects to this sentence, she likes the hospital because they had so much stuff to give her and they never ran out, I can also infer that at home they usually run out of stuff or they don't have enough money. So she likes the hospital better.
The nurses remained behind, hovering over me. I could tell I was causing a big fuss, and I stayed quiet. One of them squeezed my hand and told me I was going to be okay.
When I read this line I got an image in my head. I can see that the nurse was really trying to help her and be there for her. I also see that the nurse was like a mother figure or just a great figure. That's what I got from digging deeper and deeper.
