4. Important Quotes Important Quote(s)
Cylin: “But most of all, I’m happy to have the pictures of Dad’s car. Because the next time I saw that car, it was in a black and white photo of the Cape Cod Times, shot full of holes. The front window was shattered, the driver’s side window was completely knocked out. And the driver’s side door, freshly painted green, was riddled with shot gun pellets” (Busby 14-15).
John: “I could tell I was going to bleed to death before the EMTs arrived. I wanted them to know I needed a transfusion of O+ blood. This was all I could think about, that I had to write this down somehow. There was something else. I had to let everyone know; it was more important. I scrawled out the words and then, ‘Not an accident’ on the paper, smearing blood on it as I wrote” (Busby 22-23).
