Quote and Precept
Pg.14 " you'll be safe if you do what we tell you to do. Don't leave the yard again today."
Precept "Just keep swimming no matter how hard the current"
I chose that quote because it's saying to never give up and never stop trying
Symbolism
"If there is no struggle there is no progress"
I chose that quote because I feel like Timothy had gone through it taking care if Phillip.
