I was sitting on the roof, and she didn't see me. I sit on the roof a lot. People never think to look up.
In "Daisy Fay and the Miracle Man" by Fannie Flagg, the protagonist reflects on her tendency to find solace atop the roof. This elevated viewpoint serves as both a physical escape and a metaphorical haven where she can observe the world without being seen. It's a place of contemplation where her thoughts can roam freely, revealing her feelings and experiences in life.
The quote emphasizes the theme of invisibility and being overlooked in society. Daisy understands that people often overlook what is above them, paralleling her own experiences of feeling unseen in her life. This perspective allows her to gain insights into the lives and dramas of those around her while maintaining her own anonymity.
