Quote #4
"To see Ned get on the train and leave Manifest and the people who love him. Jinx thinks it is his fault." (18.23)
Jinx is convinced that he's the reason Ned has joined the army. Why? Because he helped Ned make the money he used to get in. This act leaves both Ned and Jinx feeling alone: Ned voluntarily and Jinx because his best friend is heading off. As it turns out, for good.
Quote #5
"Isn't that what people do when things get tough? They move on to the next town and leave all their troubles behind? And everyone they care about?" (18.27)
Hmmm. Is that what you do when you have a bad day? If so, we sure hope you keep a suitcase handy. Why do you think Gideon keeps running from the bad stuff in life? What does the continuous isolation provide for him?
