Community Quotes in The Paladin Prophecy

How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph)

Quote #1

They were odd and secretive and perpetually broke and moved around like Bedouins every eighteen months. (1.29)

Will's parents aren't part of any community because they move around so much. They're like a military family, except they're not part of the military, either. Why do you think they're so secretive and nomadic? Does it have anything to do with Will himself?

Quote #2

"Because one day, much sooner than you realize, this will become your world." (11.163)

At first it seems like the headmaster is welcoming Will to the school, but we don't think he's actually talking about the school. He's talking about the actual world and how Will might one day be a powerful force in it. We can't decide if making the world your community is cozy or creepy.

Quote #3

"So this is our shared space. Communal kitchen. Bedrooms are through each door. You're over here." (13.28)

The Center has that Hogwarts boarding-school feel, and it's the first time Will has been a part of community that isn't his parents' house. Will he find a community here or not?
