QQC

"Easily in but not easily out."
This quote at first, didn't make much sense to me. It was because if you easily get in somewhere, it shouldn't be hard to come out. Then I thought of jail. You could easily get in jail but it might take years to come out. Then, theres traps. If someone was mean enough to trap you in a 20 ft hole, that'd be pretty hard to climb out of. Also, there are lobster pots and ankle snares. If an animal got trapped in one of those, there not gonna get out and they'll probably get killed by the fisher or hunter who trapped them. But still, this quote doesnt apply to everything, doesnt apply to most things, but, i still like it.

QQC

"If you live you may yet have good fortune but the dead are dead alike"

This quote was said by a horse to a princess named Aravis who wanted to kill herself. I believe that this quote means that even during hard times, you can't give in and if you just live a little longer, good fortune is going to strike you. The second part probably means that if you do give in and if you do perish, then you are just like everyone else who has passed on and fortune will not strike you ever again. I believe that this quote is pretty confusing and that it can be translated in many different ways, but that's why I chose it to be my quote of the week.

Very Late reading jounal

Ok I almost forgot to post this reading journal but okay I did it.
The quote I had was
"All good things must come to an end."

I really want to disagree with this quote because I like all the good things in my life and I don't want them to "come to an end". This quote somewhat reminds me of the time when our seventh grade teacher, Mrs. Randolph, was talking to us about the history of China. She was saying how it has been around for around 5000 years. But she concluded her lecture saying that "China, like every other empire, will fall eventually. Just like Rome, it was disappear" or something like that. China is a really awesome country and I don't want it to "fall". Well, I do agree with this quote, I just wish it weren't so true.
