How we cite our quotes: (Part.Paragraph)
Quote #7
Maybe… maybe it was a comfort… a comfort to think of the Gorg as unstoppable. It is not so bad to be beaten when you are believing the enemy is an army of perfect monsters. (3.1424)
Even when things are rough, we can count on Tip to see the bright side of life. She's got a point: If everyone thinks about the Gorg as superhuman, maybe they'll feel less sad about the fact that humans lost. Her rationalization gives us some insight into what people were actually thinking during the war.
Quote #8
"Yeah…" I said, "but then why do they invade other planets? Why do they spend so much time taking other people's stuff away if they can just make their own?"
"Fff. Because they are jerks!" said J.Lo, throwing his arms in the air. "They are poomps! Kacknackers!" (3.1465-1466)
J.Lo isn't shy about his hatred for the Gorg, especially when they invade earth. We can't help but wonder if they are all that different from the Boov, though… If we're not mistaken, the Boov came to earth without an invite either. Are the Boov somehow better than the Gorg when they both wage war on humans?
Quote #9
A thousand cats, and they were all underfoot. They purred like a swarm of really big bees. Or really small motorcycles. I slogged through them, trying to make my way to the boys. (3.1502)
Cats aren't the first thing that comes to mind when we hear the word warfare, but then again, neither are aliens. It's awesome that a common pet like a cat is the Achilles's heel of the mighty Gorg. Plus, it shows that it takes an out-of-the-box thinker to get rid of the pesky aliens.
