“Stupid English."
"English isn't stupid," I say.
"Well, my English teacher is." He makes a face. "Mr. Franklin assigned an essay about our favorite subject, and I wanted to write about lunch, but he won't let me."

"Well," Jacob says, "it's not a predicate, either. Shouldn't he know that?”

It was violence divorced from conscience or consequence. It was high ideals, even, and low methods.”
