Quotes!

• My favorite quote is when Jack Says, "You get what you get and you are what you are," (p.2). I like this quote because I think it means that you have to accept who you are and also to appreciate what you have.

My Reaction

• I really like this book because it was very descriptive and it is about 2 boys on a quest to find Early's brother, Fisher, and Pi, a character that Early made up from the number Pi.

Another Reaction

• My favorite part of the book was when Early thinks MacScott and his men was pirates because when one of MacScott's men took an apple from Early's backpack and ate it, Early says to Jack, that is what pirates do, they steal things that doesn't belong to them.
