The dharma bums

p.72-94

-""why don't we just forget about it and go on home?" "aw come on Tiger, we'll make a run up that hill and then we'll go home.""

-I like this passage because it shows the determination that he has and that he really wants to accomplish what he started. He is sending out the message: i got this fare and i'm not turning back. I find this important to the chapter because they show that they are strong minded and that they will accomplish what ever is put infront of them.

-""I don't think i can make it. I'll wait here." and that wind was strong, too strong, i felt that as soon as we'd b on a few hundred feet up the slope it might hamper our climbing. Japhy took a small pack of peanuts and raisins and said "this'll be our gasoline, boy. you ready Ray to make a double-time run?" "Ready.""

-this quote is very similar to the first one in the way that one motivates the other to not let go. they made it that fare and there not ready to jsut give up and go back down to the camp site. they said they probably won't make it by midnight but they still dont want to give up. these people are very strong minded and thats why i love this quote because it shows the passion and the inner strength that they have.
