He stretched out his hand, and in his palm was a pendant, a small aquamarine held in a cage of thin copper wire that was twisted to look like tiny leaves. Margie looked down at the exquisite little pendant and then at her waiting brother.

"I thought you could hang this on your chain," Rider said hopefully.

Margie took the pendant from him and let it dangle between them, catching the light.

"You really are just like Dad," she said smiling. Then she began to laugh happily and a little wildly until her eyes filled with tears.

Which sentence best shows the significance of Rider giving Margie the stone?

i’m writing a memoir and i’ve been given the great suggestion of placing a ‘sub-narrative’ within some of the chapters – sort of, what was going on with me in the grand scheme of things.

i was wondering how to format this so that it is very obvious we are stepping out the of story.

firstly is a change in font from serif to sans workable? i also use dashes for a scene change. was thinking of using a different scene-changer too.

here’s a (shortened) example:

university – or what’s known as ‘uni’ in australia – were some of the best days of my life. where else do you get to potter around in a great location, have very little responsibility, learn lots of things, do lots of things and walk out four years later with a bonus – a degree!

with my university years i had immersed myself into community of intelligent ambitious people. generally everyone had a confidence about themselves. they knew where they were going in life and weren’t threatened by others.

next normal paragraph continues here…

(sorry couldn’t show the fonts in this comment field)

too much?

my best guess would be: d allusion

makes the most sense

a. energy is conserved on earth, but matter is not.
