One of my favorite passages in this book, was on page 23 when Lauren says, "A little more hypocrisy to keep the peace". I found this passage very interesting and important because the audience is getting to see Lauren's progression of thought. Her ideas in this passage specifically are involving the relationships that her stepmother and one of their neighbors hold. While, this quote seems like it could be just about the relationship that she is examining, it also pertains to the text on a larger scale. Lauren is seeing hypocrisy in the world, I think this is specific to the hypocrisy that is often found in religion (i.e. religious beliefs and slavery/racism) and Lauren has come to the conclusion that hypocrisy is, sadly, holding many parts of the world together.
