Outside Appearance

 

  I found a passage of the novel  interesting when Lettie and the main character are talking to Ursula and the main character says how pretty Ursula is but when you are seven "beauty is an abstraction, not an imperative"(Gaiman 118). He then wonders what he would have done if she smiled at him as an adult, he would have given her his mind or heart if she asked just like his father. 

   I found this passage interesting because is shows how adults and young children view beauty. Adults become attracted to beauty and are capable of losing their senses when attracted to another person, but children do not focus on that and are more able to look beyond their appearance and focus on their personality.
