Literary Luminary

Sean Dwyer


1. "Shes too old for you, his mother said. What his mother should have said was, she looks too beautiful." -paragraph 1 pg. 72
I chose this quote because i think its a common thing that all teenagers have heard, or can relate to. The way looks can alter your opinion on someone or even someones opinion on you being with them.

2."And then the gathering of tension. Jerry was next. Goober heard a wierd sound, almost as if the class had sucked in its breath all at once."Renault?" "No."-paragraph 6 pg.70
I chose this quote because it makes a statment about Jerries character and what other think about him.

3."Tell you what, Caroni. At the end of the term, when the marks close, I'll review that particular test. Perhaps I'll be fresher then. Perhaps I'll see merit that wasnt apparent before..."- paragraph 3 pg.87
I chose this quote from brother Leon becasue it shows the type of character he is and how hes so much more conserned with the chocolate sales then he is with teaching kids good morals.

4."Renault," he said again, his voice like a whip. "No. Im not going to sell the chocolates."
paragraph 5 pg.89
This quote is very intresting because not even Jerry seems to understand why he said no, even when the 10 days was up.
