How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #4
"Can I play?" asked Terrence. "No," said Calvin. "You'll just kick the ball over the fence." (26.21-22)
What is this quote doing in the friendship section? Terrence's story is actually a great example of how not to make friends. He is such a bad sport that he cares more about disrupting games than befriending his classmates.
Quote #5
They were friends for a good reason. He didn't know her name, and she didn't know his. They just called each other "Hey, you," or just plain "You." (28.4)
Nancy and Mac (or Mac and Nancy?) are another perfect pair at Wayside School. Ideally matched because they never ask the other what their first name is, they bond over their mutual hatred of their names and eventually end up swapping. This is an example of a friendship forged over a shared experience no one else really understands.
Quote #6
He was all dressed up as a goblin for Mrs. Jewls's Halloween party.
But unfortunately, it wasn't Halloween.
"Ha, ha, ha, you sure look stupid," said Jason. (29.1-3)
Jason's the first one to tease his best friend Stephen for coming to school dressed up for Halloween. Again, just like Joe who stands on John's head, this must be a sign of true friendship.
