CFC

So here's the news, I've started to go to the community center again. However this time there are kids smaller than me not like before when they use to always be older. Its funny sometimes when they dont get you into trouble or when they dont stand over your shoulder asking "ARE YOU DONE WITH YOUR HOMEWORK YET?...... WANNA PLAY A GAME?....... HOW BOUT NOW?...... AND NOW? WHAT ABOUT NOW? ARE YOU DONE?...... ARE YOU GOING TO TICKLE ME?" It gets annoying when your a very busy person like me but oh what the heck right? We were all kids once so let them be.

Some of my favorite words part 1:



I have read The Ask and The Answer by Patrick Ness and here are some lines I really loved from the book


"(where are you to save me?)
I switch off.
I go numb

.............

(you did this instead of finding me?)
And inside I just die."


"It's good she ran, ain't it?
Ain't it?
She was in danger and now-
(but)
(but did she blow up the tower?)
(did she lie to me?)
And I shouldn't think it, I shouldn't think it but here it comes-
She promised.
And she left.
She left me.
(Viola?)
(did you leave me?)"

-page 247 and 248

"The click.
His rude click.


And I lose it.

I'm running toward him and I'm yelling but I don't know what I'm saying and Davi's turning around in shock as I reach the shelter of the tarpaulin just after 1017 and I'm running in with the rifle above my head like I'm some stupid madman and 1017's turning to me but I don't give him a chance to do nothing and I knock him hard in the face with the butt of the rifle and he falls back on the ground and I lift the rifle again abd bring it down and he raises his hands to protect himself and I hit him again and again and again-
In the hands-
And the face-
And in those skinny ribs-
And my Noise is raging-
And I hit-
And I hit-
And I hit-
And I'm screaming-
And I'm screaming out-
"WHY DID YOU LEAVE?"
"WHY DID YOU LEAVE ME?"
And I hear the cold, crisp snick of his arm breaking."

-page 267

"Only one way I can find Todd.

................

He reaches into the bag at his feet and takes out a metal band marked 1391"

-page 378

""It's too late" he says and his voice is is so sad my own eyes start to wet. "I've been dead, Viola. I've been dead""

-page 395

""You touch a hair on her head", Todd says, "and I'll kill you."
"So will I," Lee says.
The man keeps smiling. "I think you have a competitor Todd.""

-page 399

"He beathes out through his nose, looking at the ground, trying to keep his Noise flat. "You love him," he says. Not an asking, just a fact.
"I do," I say. Also a fact.
"In that way?""

-page 440

"It's not that you should never love something that much it can control you.
Its that you need to love something that much so that you can never be controlled."

-page 494

[One of my favorites woot woot!]

He doesn't look at me, but he nods. "I was just trying to stay alive, looking for ways to find you, hoping you hadn't left me behind."
"Never," I say. "Not ever."
He looks back up at me. "I'd never leave you neither."
"You promise?"
"Cross my heart, hope to die," he says grinning shyly.
"I promise, too" I say and I smile at him. "I ain't never leaving you, Todd Hewitt, not never again.""

-page 195

There's another part I wish I could share but it would spoil the book so much so I won't put it BUT I will put the initial quote which one of my karate teacher really likes.
Battle not with monsters
lest you become a monster
and if you gaze into the abyss
the abyss gazes into you.
-Friendrich Nietzsche (one of the title pages of the book)
