A Wake.
A Live.
A Lert." (pg 226)
Roy deliberately broke up the words and capitalized them to give them a stronger meaning and the sense that Sophie Mol was there for that precise moment. She isn't dead yet, she is fully and 100% there in that moment. This is a key moment on the time line, highlighted by the capitalization of words, and shown with specific space of each phrase.
Another thing in the book that stuck out to me was when Rahel felt Estha's presence. "Something altered the air. And Rahel knew that Estha had come. She didn't turn her head, but a glow spread inside her. He's come. She thought. He's here. With me." (pg 222) This symbolized their connection. How close their bond is, and how strong their Siamese souls truly are. How does this seem to change as they get older? Does that glow stop within them? Or does something put it out?

I like the part when Estha comes and joins Rahel through the story while the performance. It really does show how they are closely bonded together as being twins. They're not facing each other or having a conversation, but Rahel just knew Estha had came to join with her.
