4 " Dill said striking a match under a turtle was hateful." Ain't hateful, just persuades him- 's not like you'd chunk him in the fire," Jem growled." How do you know a match don't hurt him?" " Turtles can't feel , stupid," said Jem." Were you ever a turtle, huh? "

5 " At age 43, when I decided to run again, I realized that the images used to describe runners didn't fit me. I wasn't a rabbit. I wasn't a gazelle or a cheetah or any of the other animals that run fast and free. But I wasn't a turtle or a snail either. I wasn't content anymore to move slowly through my life and hide in my shell when I was scared.

I was a round little man with a heavy heart but a hopeful spirit. I didn't really run, or even jog. I waddled. I was a Penguin. This was the image that fit. Emperor-proud, I stand tallto face the elements of my life. Yes, I am round. Yes, I am slow. Yes, I run as thought my legs are tied together at the knees. But I am running. And that is all that matters. "
