"Ascension in the Moonlight"

The theme, as I interpreted it, was taking risks. Risk going home early, and on the way there risk making friends with strangers, and with these strangers risk new, once-in-a-lifetime experiences.

"a blizzard of stars" (268) really stuck out to me from its unique description that creates an immediate and striking visual.

"For at almost the same moment as she asked this rhetorical question, she shivered" (269) gets the reader's attention instantly. The wording makes one feel suspicious and almost worried, but definitely curious, especially since the sentence ends at "she shivered."
