Quote #4
The question was: Had Julian erased PARAPLEGIC, or was he in the process of erasing CRIPPLE? I glanced back at Hamilton Knapp and saw him exchange a look and a slight smile with Michael Froelich, and I knew the answer. ("Ethan Explains the B and B Inn".59)
Knapp's "slight smile" tells us all we need to know about him. He's a coward who's willing to let someone else take the fall for his own misdeeds.
Quote #5
His book bag now read:
I am a passenger on Spaceship Earth [.] ("Ethan Explains the B and B Inn".71-3)
Julian returns to school with his marked bookbag, but he's not defeated. He's turned Hamilton's insult into a statement of courage and—even more cool—unity.
Quote #6
Something in Sillington House gave me permission to do things I had never done before. Never even thought of doing. Something there triggered the unfolding of those parts that had been incubating. Things that had lain inside me, curled up like the turtle hatchlings newly emerged from their eggs, taking time in the dark of their nest to unfurl themselves. ("Ethan Explains the B and B Inn".258)
Being at Sillington House gives Ethan confidence—just like a little turtle pecking its way out of a shell, ready for the harrowing journey down to sea. Awww.
