We’re going to discuss some quotes in class on Monday. You don’t need to do any work on this til we get to class.
- “‘A guy needs somebody–to be near him.’ He whined, ‘A guy goes nuts if he ain’t got nobody. Don’t make no difference who the guy is, long’s he’s with you. I tell ya,’ he cried, ‘I tell ya a guy gets too lonely an’ he gets sick.'”
- “We ain’t got to stay here. We gotta house and chickens an’ fruit trees an’ a place a hunderd times prettier than this. An’ we got fren’s, that’s what we got. Maybe there was a time when we was scared of gettin’ canned, but we ain’t no more. We got our own lan’, and it’s ours, an’ we c’n go to it”
- “You’re scared of each other, that’s what. Ever’one of you’s scared the rest is goin’ to get something on you.”
- “I think I knowed from the very first. I think I knowed we’d never do her. He usta like to hear about it so much I got to thinking maybe we would.”
