“Make it achievable” pg.30
Once I saw this it made me think of someone setting a goal and letting nothing get in the way of them completing that goal. Hard work is always the best way to get things done the right way. You cant let anything stop you from getting what needs to be done done. 53
“The total sum of humanity is only counted by the number of casualties not its living” pg.73
When I saw this I thought about it and it’s sadly the truth. When you hear about war you only hear about the casualties not about the people who survived the war. People that get hurt get awards and more sympathy than the people that are still out there fighting for us.52
“Everyone’s luck runs out” pg.97

This reminds me of a story I was told by a friend where two days in a row he found money and wanted to save it but the next day he was looking for the money and it was gone.68
“Maybe you are gonna make me give to much for little of what you have to offer” pg.128

“Conversation wasn’t easy in this wind, a fine line between being heard or overheard was easy” pg.240-241
I was really in to the book when I heard this because it reminded me of when I used to play hide and go seek when I was little. I smiled a little because I could Imagine being in that situation and having to be really quite or I would be captured and have to be it for the next round.61
“Make it up with your old man, Marcus, because we’re all a long time dead. Forgive him. Forgive yourself. When he is gone you will give any minute of your life to see him again” pg.282
This reminds me of the movies about teens stuck in the ghetto. Most of the time they dont know their fathers and if they
