This week I read "The Sledding Hill" and started "Stotan!", both novels by Chris Crutcher.
Pages read: 154 pages
Semester: 792 pages

Top Sentences:

1. "Eddie runs directly at the congregation, reverses direction three inches from two elders' outstretched fingers, and sprints past the pulpit; jumps curls his fingers over the window ledge, pulls himself up far enough to get a grip on the handle at the bottom of the window, and pulls himself the rest of the way."
2. "In fact I might be Jesus."
3. "And a mouse runs across his foot."

I chose these sentences because I thought they were comical, as number 2 as an exception.  The first sentence shows the dedication and obstacles Eddie has to face both in the service and in everyday life.  The second sentence I thought was extremely controversial.  Eddie is preaching his testimony and does not seem to know when to stop.  He keeps going and going and going until he goes too far and says that he might be Jesus.  He was thrown into the looney bin for that statement.  The third sentence was a kind of comic relief in the novel when Eddie is terrified in the basement trying to hide from the voices when a mouse startles him, almost to insanity.
