"This is why they send kids to war. Young men. Just give us an order. If you've constructed enough of a reason for us to go blow ourselves up .... We won't question a bit."(p.156) This quote is said by the main character when he feels as though he is being forced to do somthing just becuase he is younger than the adult.
This quote is a good quote becuase it shows how young people are easily brain washed. A few good examples of this would be hitler's youth how he trained young people to be nazi's when they grow up. Another example how this is true is how young people were easily drafted for ww2 and were sent in first on d-day because they thought they were invincible and wouldn't die. The older war vetrans knew that if they were to go in first it would be suicide so they let the young people go in first. This quote is really strong becuase it's true how young people are easily minipulated to do anything.

"When you fall off a horse, you've got to get right back on." P.20
This Quote is when he was talking to his friend about giving up.
What he is trying to say is to keep trying and never give up even if you fail the first time. I feel as though this quote is true because if you fail the first time and just give up you won't get anywhere. We sould have some of the inventions we have today because they usually failed to work the first time so the inventors had to keep making changes to the invention until it worked. Same as in school if you give up after failing a test you will just not get anywhere in school.

"The front door opens and Nick Brock steps with Lynn in tow. Everybody stops and ackgnowledges him like he's a mafia boss." (165). This quote is said when Nick and Lynn walk into the room.
This quote shows how much respect everyone has for Nick and Lynn. I think this quote is exaggerated by the author. In my experiences when someone walks through the door no matter who it is I don't think everyone would stop what the're doing just to ackgnowledge them. I think would would be more realistic is that they just keep doing what the're doing and maybe say hi.

"'No freshmen allowed!"'
Is a quote taken from the book when the main character tries to cut across a hallway in the school.
This quote reminds me a lot of Edina highschool because of the commons. There were rumors when I was in 9th grade that only Juniors and Seniors were allowed to use the commons. I would hear stories of people having to go downstairs cut across then go back upstairs. I of course never fell for such shenanagins. I knew better becuase who was going to stop me from walking across the commons? no one. I think in carters case it's pretty funny how there's actually people there patroling the hallway and not allowing them to cross. I also think it's pretty messed up too because he has to cross the long way which takes up a lot of his time.

"I'm taking a math quiz and spacing off as usual."
This quote is said by Carter in the beginning of a chapter and he's taking a math quiz as you can see by what's said in the quote.
I can relate to this I guess becaues I tend to just day dream during math becuase I find it boring since there's really no interactive work you have to do. All we do in math is take notes that are already in the book. I can't see why he's spacing off during a quiz though since it still needs to get done. I guess the math teacher just gives him more time to do the quiz than our teacher. Match sucks.
