Outside Reading #4
Again for my outside reading I continued with the novel Crispin by Avi. In the section that I read I noticed a few good quotes that I could write about. The first quote is when Bear says, "The only difference between a dead fool and a live one is the dead one has a deeper grave." I think that the meaning behind this quote is that a fool is already dead because of there poor decisions and so that leaves the difference to be that one is actually dead and buried. Another quote that I liked from this section is when Bear explains himself. He says, "a bear has two natures. Sweet and gentle. If he becomes irritated, he turns into a vicious brute." I think that this quote is self explnitory of his attitude. We learn that he can easily be upset and this quote might lead into a key event based on the information we are given.

Wow, those are a couple of interesting quotes. I love when authors foreshadow important events with subtle quotes such as these. Also, some writers do an incredible job of creating on-going themes or symbolism through the actions of certain characters; the quote by Bear, along with his actual name, would be a great example of this.
Sounds like an interesting book, keep blogging about it!
