Read the passage from "The Book of Martha." She stood up and looked down at him. "Is it what I
should do? Will it work? Please tell me."
Which quote from the passage best illustrates the theme
of trusting oneself?
"I truly don't know. I don't want to know. I want to watch it
all unfold. I've used dreams before, you know, but not
like this."
O "Is it what I should do?""
O "'I don't want to know. I want to watch it all unfold.
O "Let me think about this,' she said. "Can I be by
myself for a while?"
O "Speak aloud to me when you want to talk. I'll come
to you."
His pleasure was so obvious that she almost took the
whole idea back. He seemed able to be amused by
terrible things. "Let me think about this," she said. "Can!
be by myself for a while?"
God nodded. "Speak aloud to me when you want to talk.
I'll come to you."
