"The blood is still flowing. It's bad to lose so much blood. What a state the Buick is in."
This is the thing that really kills me about Mellie - she's infuriatingly apathetic about everything she experiences. She comes across as distant and disinterested, even when facing her own death. Does the fact that Mellie still knows so little about the world render her incapable of feeling anything for her own situation? She goes through all of these things that most girls her age don't experience, but there's a distinct lack of believable emotion in this book because the narrator refuses to feel anything for herself.
