How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #1
Basically we're pretty cool, nice, smart—but not "average" in any way. The six of us—me, Fang, Iggy, Nudge, the Gasman, and Angel—were made on purpose, by the sickest, most horrible "scientists" you could possibly imagine. They created us as an experiment. An experiment where we ended up only 98 percent human. (P.6)
It's all very well being "nice" and "smart," but the flock members can't easily blend into society or make friends with other kids their age. This is because they're not like other kids their age at all—they're basically mutants.
Quote #2
My last thought was disbelief: Ari was Jeb's son. They'd made him into an Eraser. He was seven years old. (5.20)
Well, that's not cool. Ari used to be your typical cute little human boy, but now he's a muscled Eraser who's out for blood. That must have been quite the traumatic transition for him.
Quote #3
The other one just looked like… a mistake. He had extra fingers and toes, and hardly any neck. His eyes were huge and bulging, and the hair on his head was sparse. It made Angel's heart hurt just to look at him. (13.8)
Yikes. Even though things are hard for the flock members, they could apparently be much worse. The scientists didn't get every experiment right, and Angel sees the "mistakes" when she's taken back to the School—to say the least, the results aren't pretty.
