Pennies

What is the significance of the pennies in the first two paragraphs? When you first start reading the essay, Dillard's recounting of her childhood experience with the pennies may seem "cute" but inconsequential to any further meaning. But, once you have read the entire essay, the story of the pennies should take on a much larger meaning. Dillard says "There are a lot of things to see, unwrapped gifts and free surprises. The world is fairly studded and strewn with pennies cast broadside from a generous hand" (17).
