1. "Maybe the two different worlds we lived in weren’t so different. We saw the same sunset."-Chapter 3‚ Pg. 41 2. In my opinion this quote in question # 1 is the most important in the entire book. This quote is said by Ponyboy and Cherry Valance on multiple occasions. Many would argue that the quote Johnny makes in his deathbed is more important but that is simply not true. He says “Stay gold‚ Ponyboy. Stay gold..." his quote is also significant but it is a very close second to the quote

After reading the novel there were many things about my feelings towards war. Before reading the novel I always knew that war was a hard thing on a person‚ emotionally and physically. During the read it really showed me that what soldiers go through is really rough‚ from being in the war but even when returning home. One of the things that stuck out to me is how homesick soldiers get while fighting. While fighting the thought of killing humans‚ but yet also get yourself killed if you do one thing

1. The title of the article itself straight away emphasises on the fact how immature the explorers were‚ by calling them boys and showing how their childishness inevitably affects the reader – “taxpayer get’s rescue bill” – which straight away arouses a negative opinion towards the subject. The third paragraph uses a pattern of three to describe the forces involved: “the Royal Navy‚ the RAF and the British Coastguards”‚ implying that the rescue cost a lot of money and unnecessary trouble.

The scent of flowers carried strong over the valley. The overwhelming perfume of hundreds‚ if not thousands of untouched petals‚ was long lost to noses that grew up with roses in their nostrils‚ not able to pick out the aroma of a single stem. Not helping was the deepness of the valley‚ with the only way out a steep climb with materials they not only didn’t have‚ but had no hope of ever making. This didn’t arouse any resentment‚ none at all‚ for the villagers were not ones to ponder the unknown
