Quote 16
"You two are the only ones who ever cared about me," he blurted. "It's not like I don't appreciate what you're doing. But I screwed everything up. I'm going to jail—can't you see that? Why don't you just leave me alone now and quit wasting your time?" (15.56)
Cole just doesn't get why Edwin and Garvey try so hard with him. He feels like a lost cause—so why do these two men believe in him so much? Why do they want to help him?
