Ok, so I read the whole story of into silence by marlin barton but I need help with one thing. I need help finding a sentence or a phrase that sums up the whole story. So, can someone please help me with that.

Please give me your thinking in your own words (a sentence or two) what the story is about.

Do you have to write a paper as to why you think that sentence sums up the story?

Janey is a young deaf girl who lives with her mom. Her mom is cruel and mean and doesn't like her to go anywhere. Mr Clark is a photographer that travels around the world and he comes to her town to take pictures of poor homes and he also tries to help Janey with her problems at home.

Do you just have to find the sentence or do more than that?

Just a sentence or a phrase that's all

You don't have to explain why you chose that sentence?

Well I probably would have to do that too possibly

What the twist at the end?

Yeah her mother was deaf too

What would you say is the theme, in just a few words?

Do you think Janey's mother loved her?

Oh I meant his mother not her mother and the theme is silence

And yes she did love her

How about this sentence, or the part in it that I bolded:

She felt her mother shaking and knew her mother loved her, but love was sometimes like silence, beautiful but hard to bear.

Thank you

Can you make a case for that?

I'm not sure but I think it means that silence can be hard to take or it can be a good thing

It was when Janey goes back in time a bit to explain what it was like when she could hear voices and how things were before her father passed away.
