Outside Reading #6

For my sixth outside reading blog assignment I read the novel Crispin, the Cross of Lead, by Avi. In the part of the book that I read I found one quote that had a lot of meaning and was easily explainable. This happened when Bear gave Crispin a good piece of advice. He says, "You're full of sadness. Those who bring remorse are shunned. Do you know why? Because sorrow is the common fate of man." This quote means that Crispin should not be sad because that it is "the common fate of man," and instead he should be happy and have fun. I think that everybody could get something very important out of this quote and that is just because you are sad, you can't let it get to you. In other words, that you should look on the bright side. In my opinion, I would say this is the most improtant quote so far because it is commonly occurs in our society and needs a little more focus on it.
