_All-American Boys_ by Jason Reynolds and Brendan Kiely

A Lincoln 2018 Finalist There are curse words in some of these quotes. They are left in for accuracy, but know they are there-- don't just cut and paste onto your Smartboard. :) I don't know... I'm not sure what to label these, but they needed to be saved. My dad got blown up in Afghanistan, and Ma and everybody we knew and plenty of people we didn't know but knew his name, all reminded me-- he sacrificed for all of us.

Somebody always wants more than their fair share and that someone is willing to forgo ethical considerations to get what they want." p22 Fat Boy vs the Cheerleaders by Geoff Herbach Politics  "Uh, Kaus Company? The pop machine? They own it? The price went up?" Camille said. "Kailey's mom is head of the school board? Kailey is suddenly getting a dance team? Sounds like conspir...

Resistance by Jennifer A. Nielsen

Rebecca Caudill 2021 Book Age Never let it be said that the young are powerless or incapable. Never let it be said that youth is a liability. p57 Legacy We are fighting for our three lines in history just so that it will not be said that our youth went like sheep to the slaughter. p58 If they would not fight for millions of living Jews, perhaps they would fight for the memory of a single dead poet. p82 Prejudice "He is the enemy, Chaya! The war will end one day and the Germans will go back to their own land. But here we must live alongside thousands of people like that man. If we can't stop his hatred, this will happen again and again and again!" p104 "No, the Fuhrer of Germany has declared war on you and me, on all of us!" p137 "No, Chaya. As much as the Nazis want to take our lives, they want to take our faith, too." p139 "The hatred. I remember my father saying that he'd finally come to believe the world had moved past ...
