5. The Ghost Shirt Society
“‘We’re here because somebody wants to kill us, wreck the plants, and take over the country. That plain enough for you?... All we’ve got is the name’” ( ).

6. Paul’s Firing (or did he quit?)
“‘Your father would be proud of you, Paul,’ said Kroner … ‘I quit, I quit, I quit,’ he said. ‘Do you hear me? I quit!’” (231).

7. Integrity and Follow-through
“Don’t put one foot in your job and the other in your dreams … Go ahead and quit, or resign yourself to this life. It’s just too much of a temptation for fate to split you right up the middle before you’ve made up your mind which way to go” (236).
