I'm dropping out." Again, this could have multiple meanings. When you drop out of things you are no longer a part of that team, group, or class. This last line is a cliff hanger because it is up to the reader to analyze the text to see what the speaker meant by this comment. Is the speaker dropping out of the family or is she simply dropping out of her role in the family as the household leader? This line could lead readers to a variety of interpretations.
