“Well, Peevish McKnob, I’ll make a deal with you, okay? I’ll stop invading your privacy if you can help my family out and tell me where that pot of gold is.” I could tell the leprechaun was thinking about it and after some serious deliberation, he nodded and whispered something in my ear.

“No actually I don’t. But thank you for your concern, I suppose.” After those last words the Captain Galloped away, leaving Samuel behind.

"Yeah, sure. Do you even know how to ride?" Matteo chuckled, knowing that i had no clue.

Lennie looked down at the hay. "Says I can't tend no rabbits if I talk to you or anything."

“I’m sure we can get you a nice docile pony,” Ann assured her friend. “Lord Donovan, where are we heading?”

This scene immediately shows readers the civil rights movement during the 20th century and how important it was in understanding what was happening. Danielle McGuire is the author of “At the Dark End of the Street,” which was published in 2010. However, “This Nonviolent Stuff’ll Get You Killed,” is a novel that focuses on King’s protection during the Montgomery bus boycott that took place in Montgomery, Alabama. Charles E. Cobb is the author of “This Nonviolent Stuff’ll Get You Killed,” and was published in 2014. Both of these novels focus their points on different and similar aspects of the civil rights movement.
