She thought, "Only a lazy girl would get caught, and her daughter was clever but lazy, blissfully unaware of how hard her mother worked to maintain the lie that was her life"(175, Bennett). Kennedy was very smart but not careful with her actions. She had means to get the pot, but couldn't hide it well.

The idea was so idiotic, she could barely restrain herself from saying so as soon as she reached for the menu"(175, Bennett). This shows that Kennedy quit school to become a full time actor. She doesn't think full time student is for her.

- Stella was reflecting on the times she visited USC's campus with Kennedy. She thought, "...she’d visited just a handful of times: the college tour, where she’d trailed behind her daughter, gazing skeptically at the trellises climbing the red brick"(175, Bennett).

The different phases and hair colors and outfits show she is growing, but at the same time willing to move at her own pace and flow.
