"I know the girl on the floor, the one with her neck bent all weird, I know the girl is me.But I'm a too busy soaring toward heaven to care. And the thing that is most surprising the thing you might not know ,is that in the right light, Heaven looks a lot like the mall."

I think that this passage of the book I am reading (Heaven looks a lot like the mall) best describes the Journey in the book. 16 year old Tessa is in a coma because of a gym accident. While Tessa is in a coma she finds herself in heaven (or what she thinks is heaven) which happens to bear a striking resemblance to her hometown mall. In each they explain a memory or a vision that Tessa had at her hometown from when she was 3 to 16. Each paragraph or each memory involves a small conflict that is the journey of Tessa at the mall.
