I have noticed that Roy talks about both “Big Things” and “Small Things”. The last line of chapter 6 contains a "Small Thing". "Just outside Ayemenem they drove into a cabbage-green butterfly (or perhaps it drove into them)." Not only does Roy take a moment to say something about something small, but she also shows that there are two perspectives to every story and that the “Small Things” are usually pushed aside and ignored.

I think that the "small things" are articulated by Estha and Rahel through the writing style Roy uses of capitalizing certain words.
Because they are children, even the "smaller things" make an impact and are capatilized, making them important and not "small".
