Question for Reading like a writer

What specific details stay in your mind ? Why ? How do these small details lead to larger ideas?

The specific detail that has remained in my mind (and I think has marked me), is the reflection of Alice Walker when she thinks about her innocence as individual, but then this statement is contradicted by recognition that “Just as human beings perceive all trees as one (didn’t a U.S official say recently that “when you’ve seen tree you’ve seen them all”?) All human beings to the trees are one. And this is the key inflection point where the author got me. I felt every single criticism that was made to the human life style. And each sensory element since that point had a different context, I really could feel a little bit of hate for being part and actively participate in this system.
