Extemely Loud and Incredibly Close-Quote

As you can infer from the title and other blog posts I am reading Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close (Johnathan Safran Foer) and again form the title I've chosen a quote to talk about: 'What about a teakettle? What if the spout opened and closed when the steam came out, so it would become a mouth, and it could whistle pretty melodies, or do Shakespeare, or just crack up with me? I could invent a teakettle that reads in dads voice, so I could fall asleep,or maybe a set of teakettles that could sing 'Yellow Submarine' which is a song by the Beatles, who I love, because entomology is one of my raisons d'être, which is a french expression that I know.' That's on the first page and it gives you a pretty good impression of Oscar the main character a 9 year old, it tells you that he's an inventor, and you wonder about his dad who he mentions, you can tell his dad might not be there but you don't know where. Another thing you don't know is who it is, later on you find out it's Oscar but you don't know that when you read that sentence or few, an inference could be he's young because of his dad, and it sounds like something a young person might think about. The reason I chose that specific quote and not another, because there was quite a few, was because it perfectly describes Oscar, I think, and though in the beginning it may not make sense later on it all comes together,it also describes other children who all have ideas and probably also have a favorite band and, though it may not seem like it, are all like Oscar in one way or another.
