"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.
