Levi's Quotes:

" You cant stop the birds of sadness from flying over your head, but you can keep them from nesting in your hair".

This quote connects to Phoebe because she is always sad now because her mom left, but she dosent need to be sad all the time so shes letting the sad birds nest in her hair.

This quote relates to me because my brother just left for the marines and I dont let sadness control my life.

"Life is like a box of choclates you never know wht your gonna get". by Forest Gump ( Tom Hanks)

I like this one because I like it because it means nobody really knows whats gonna happen in life.

Matias's quotes:

"In the course of a lifetime what does it really matter."

This quote has to do with Phoebe's habit of obsessing over things that don't really matter. Things that in several years she might not remember.

"Try? There is no try, there is only do and do not."- Yoda

I like this quote because it shows that if you are going to do something you either do or don't.

Hayley’s Quotes:

“Everyone has his own agenda”.

Walk two Moons

I thought this quote related to the book for various different reasons. One reason was that Phoebe’s mom never seemed happy with what she was doing. For example, Phoebe’s mom made dinner every night, and nobody helped or thanked her. They always depended on her to get everything done, and when she wasn’t there, they were kind of clueless on how to do anything. This is how I thought the quote related mostly to Phoebe’s mom.

How I thought this quote related to me was how I always have my own agenda. Meaning, that I am a different person and I am always doing something different from the others. For example, I used to take a art class outside of school, and at the time my friends would never think of anything like that. It was a fun experience and I learned a lot of things

“Never let the fear of striking out, keep you from playing the game”.

- The Cinderella Story

This quote has a great meaning behind it. What it means to me is, “try hard and never give up”. Which is a great motto to have, and to live by. This is also a great quote because in my life, I play a lot of sports, so when I don’t get something right, the first time, I’ll try again. Ever since I heard this quote, it made me stronger as team player, and to never give up and try your hardest to succeed.

Julia's quotes:

"Don't judge a man untill you've walked two moons in his moccasins"

-Walk two Moons

This quote relates to the story because Pheobe is allways making assumpions about people she's never met. She assums Mrs. Cadaver is an axe murder because her name means 'dead body'. Pheobe also assums Mrs. Cadaver is an axe murder because she doesn't know where Mr.Cadaver is and finally because Pheobe saw Mrs. Cadaver choping stuff up in her back yard with an axe.

This quote relates to my life because I try very hard not to judge people before I've known them for a while. I also get very annoyed when people who don't know me at all make assumptions about me. There is a lot more to people that what appears on the surface and a reason why people do things of act a certain way that without knowing them you could never know.

"Life is 10 percent what happens to me and 90 percent how I react to it"

-Charles Swindle

I like this quote because it is a positive way of looking at things and it lets you know that you control what happens to you, not anyone else. I have used this mind set before when someone has said something irritating to me and I have to choose whether to say something annoying back or brush of what they said and at least be polite.

When should we meet?
