Quote #4
It looked as if the whole population of Adenville was on Cedar Ridge, standing around in large and small groups. (3.84)
Yes, exactly, the whole population of Adenville is always there, because Netflix has not been invented yet, so they can't stay home and binge watch.
Quote #5
Tom no sooner got the rope off his waist than Mr. Jensen picked him up and put my brother on his shoulder. He carried Tom out of the chamber with the rest of us following. The crowd outside began to applaud and cheer as they saw Mr. Jensen and Frank and Allan. Several men got so excited they began shooting their revolvers in the air. Mr. Jensen held up one hand for silence. The crowd became quiet immediately.
"My sons owe their lives to this brave boy on my shoulder!" Mr. Jensen shouted.
The crowd went wild then, whistling, shouting, applauding as if Tom were some kind of king. (3.197-199)
Sure, Tom's a hero today, but uneasy lies the head that wears the crown. He'll have to keep upping his game if he wants to stay on top.
Quote #6
The crowd made a pathway as Mr. Jensen put Tom down. They kept cheering and reaching out to pat my brother on the shoulder as we walked down Cedar Ridge with Mamma and Papa. They even followed us home and stood in the street in front of our house.
I followed Papa, Mamma, Sweyn, and Tom into our parlor. Tom walked to the big bay window and looked out at the crowd in the street.
"I guess I'll have to speak to them," he said. (3.201-203)
If Tom doesn't grow up and go into politics, we're going to be so disappointed.
