    I’m still just his little girl, the one who would crawl into his lap and learn to read the newspaper with him. He’s the one who gave me the idea for this memory box in the first place. Atticus said that putting mementos of my experiences would help me cope with everything I’ve been through.

However, we do not perceive the edge of the box and the vase as connected to each other. Rather, we see the line that follows the smoothest path. Thus, the edge of the box and vase are separate from another. The principle holds that humans perceive two or more objects as singular and different things even…
