This is some quotations from the book Dying bites. I had many to choose from but didn’t use them all, because a lot of them could be hard to understand if you haven’t read the book. I hope people who read the quotation I have chosen will enjoy them as much as I did when I read them.
´
1)In the first quote, the head character Jace discuss with one of her fellow worker how much vampires wants to pay for real human blood. That discussion didn’t turn out the way she would like:
”Black-market human blood. Heard they pay a thousand dollars at once.
- Nice to be wanted”
- Nah, you got nothing to worry about. That’s for virgin blood
I wonder how much trouble I’ll get in for shooting my own enforcer.”
(Page 56)
.
I only selected this quote because I found it hilarious when I read it.
2)In the second quote, Jace gets a question from a lycanthrope why she is a vegetarian and this is what she answered:
“If everybody eats beef, cattle need lots of room to graze. Forest gets cut down to make pasture. Instead of trees absorbing carbon dioxide to make oxygen, we get cows absorbing grass to make methane. I don’t know about thropes, bur I rather breathe air than cattle farts”
(Page 49)
I choose this quote because it makes you start to think how our future will look like. It gives us insight about what might happen if we don’t take care of our planet.
3)In the third quote Jace meets a man who looks at her in a way she doesn’t appreciate and this is what she thinks about him:
“All men have that automatic hindbrain trigger that fires whenever they see a beautiful woman, but if you could decode that signal and put it into words it would just come out as “want sex now!” In a demanding, Homer Simpsonesque voice.”
(Page 50)
This is another quote I find very funny but it isn’t the only reason why I selected it. It shows how little trust Jace has for men (something you will understand more about if you read the book)
4) This is the last quote. Jace is wondering about if someone misses her and starts to think about her best friend Tanya:
“Tanya my one good friend would definitely miss me-but she’d get over it. Tanya’s a social butterfly, and while she’s sweet, her memories are short. Give her a year and she’ll have a new best friend.”
(Page 81)
This quote tells me how easy humans can go on with their lives. It shows that no one will be sad forever and that is a very good thing to think about, because if everyone would feel sorrow all the time no one will be able to live.
I hope people have enjoyed my chosen quotations and might understand why I selected them. Have fun! (^_^)

Haha! Seems like you've actually found a funny book! ^^ I especially like the one about air pollution, I too would prefer not to breath... ehm, "raspberries" x)
ReplyDeleteIs it as fun all the way through, or does it loose some of it at the end?
Have you read it all yet, or are you, as you are supposed to, actually "off-duty" during the Christmas break? `,^
