- "a fleeting shadow attached to Anita's snapping heels" * - Meena - Shows she is entirely dependant on Anita and completely lost. "fleeting" makes her seem unnoticeable and thus, easily forgotten/neglected. - (fleeting = brief)
- "Whilst I was a happy spectator, secure in my role as Trixie’s beautician, Tracey never enjoyed her sideline vigil. She stood apart from us resentfully, a silent, wet blanket ready to douse our flames, her eyes never leaving Anita’s sunkissed, fiery face." * - Meena - Tracey was never included. Shows how she is unwanted by so many, including (apparently) her mother. This again provokes sympathy for her. - (By vigil, it means, Tracey's time watching over Anita, keeping track of what she does.)
*Tracey is often juxtaposed to Anita, enhancing her frailty.
