Page/Quote reflecting on: Pg. 77
Esther needed to be thinking about what she wanted to be, what she wanted to do before she got out of high school or what ever. Now she is left standing in the middle of the fig tree not sure which fig or occupation to take. She doesn't know what decisions to make. Because it is taking her so long, her chances are beinging to slip through her fingers and soon she will be left with nothing. "I saw my life branching out before me like the green fig tree in the story...From the tip of every branch, like a fat purple fig, a wonderful future beckoned and winked...I saw myself sitting in the crotch of this fig tree, starving to death, just because I couldn't make up my mind which of the figs I would choose." All of those opportunities will pass while she is still making up her mind and she will find herself old and alone with nothing at all when she had so many good opportunities before her.
