1.""Discover yourself," Edwin said. "Celebrate being alive!"" pg 139

I think that this inspirational quote means that you shouldn't take being alive for granted and you should always enjoy the little things in life. When he says discover yourself I think what he means is figure out what you are good at and what you can do to make the world a better place.

2."Half of being trusted is to trust" pg 143

This is a very realistic quote that is why I chose it. I think that if somebody wants to trust you they have to believe that you trust them back. This takes both of the people to fully commit. Or just one person committing to themselves and their goals.

3.""We'll dance the whale dance tonight," Edwin said." 147

I think that this quote has more to do then just dancing. I think the deeper meaning is dancing is a way to release tension. I think the whales represent change and new things because Cole has never seen them before so it is new to him.

4. ""Pride has no place on this island," Edwin answered." pg 149

This quote by Edwin is representing how before Cole would beat up people just because they weren't scared of him. Edwin is saying that the island doesn't care that Cole thinks he's tough. The island will not care about his feelings because it does not have any feelings.

5."What are you doing?" Cole asked.
"Touching my ancestors."

This quote is saying how everybody has different beliefs. Cole may not believe that you can touch ancestors but Edwin does. It is also representing how Cole and Edwin have become closer and are able to talk about personal things like this.
