The first quote about rain and how it's connected to love really make me think about the book, but don't in the sense of love but life. In the second story about the daughter with the mother in prison, when all that was going on it was like a the train so pouring she could still breath however so even though it was bad it could have been worse. Until her mother gets beaten to death in prison. That's when she gets swallowed up by life and drowns like what the quote says. She was grieving for a while until she looked at the sun and hoped that she would see her mother there one day. The other quote I like is also another one about water.  "The silent and calm water drowns you". I picked this because I think that you should always he aware and not get too comfortable because you never know what will happen next.
