Loot, Jude Watson
Page 38

"An airport was the loneliest place in the world if you didn't have a home."


  In the book Loot, by Jude Watson, the main character March loses his father after he fell to his death. When he and his sister gets put into the foster care system they travel across the world to go to a foster home they feel more alone than they ever had. The word home to a lot of people means where your family is. Without any family you can't have a home. I think that because their father and mother had died that it was impossible for the kids to ever feel like it wasn't lonely without their family.

Laila Vazifdar “Orange sparks stream through a gap in the door as the car slams into the side of the shat with a terrible scraping, grinding sound." p.128 The quote is important because it describes the first part of the 9/11 attacks and what someone who was inside the building would have experienced. The quote describes a scene where the elevator is falling for an unknown cause which we later find out is terrorist attacks. The sentence has significant detail as the scene can really be pictured here.

Jason Lemos “I almost say, ‘ Not really.’ But that wouldn’t be true. I could easily be buried under a mudslide of pain right now, and I’m not. I can’t regret that.

Christopher Caswell "There's only one me." Chase Ambrose pg. 223 I like this quote because it shows Chase taking credit for the actions of his past self.Chase used to be a bully, trouble maker, and a criminal. But since his fall off his roof, he's changed. He's a nicer person, and he feels guilty about what he did in the past. But he takes responsibility for it. That's why I like this quote. At this Moment in the book he's admitting to the character Mr. Solway that he stole his medal of honor. He also didn't drag his two former friends down with him, even though they tried their best to keep him from returning it.
