Bone- "Goodwill"

I think that it is interesting that the Goodwill store is mentioned so heavily in chapter one.  For one thing, the family might not be the most well off, but they certainly do not need to shop at a thrift store.  In fact Leila even comments on how she remembers that she used to live in a much smaller space when she is visiting all the parents of her students.  It might just be that Leon, being much older, is used to thrift stores because they bring in an older crowd.  For some reason, however it feels like the stores' name is much more important than the aspect of shopping there.  I think the term good will must have an important meaning as the story progresses.  Perhaps Leila is guiding us along because she wants to show us how tolerant she is of everyone else, even the old men sitting at the square who comment about her so obnoxiously.  Maybe Leila’s quest to show everyone good will, in turn others, such as her family will lighten up to her marriage.  We shall see!
