Quote #10
M.C. watched, his hand tight on the knife. If Ben had to outrun Jones, M.C. knew he would throw the knife to wound. Ever so carefully, he shifted the knife and held the blade point between thumb and finger.
But he's your father.
Not if he runs off Ben. (14.188-190)
M.C. finally chooses Ben over his family's bigoted principles. In so doing, he actually pushes his father to be a better man, which just goes to show that putting family first doesn't have to mean agreeing with family about everything. Sometimes it's a good idea to stand up for your own values.
