The first chapter of AMNQ

My two sentences that i thought were cool was : "Abba carries his stories carefully inside him, like a precious glass he cradles next to his heart." on page 6, and "some get lucky and win the Diversity Lottery so they can stay." on page 7. I thought the first sentence was very symbolic and it really showed how much abba cared about his stories. The second sentence i thought was kinda funny, because its saying they get luck and stay and the others get unlucky and get deported.
