“I’m Uri,’ he said. ‘What's your name?’ I gave him my name. ‘Stop thief’ .” (Page 3)
“The Smoke Blower pressed my nose with the tip of his finger.(page 6)
The first quote from page three is the introduction of Uri and Misha. Unlike regular introductions these two met rather unusually. Misha bumped into Uri while he was on the run from a bread lady after stealing from her. For the first and last time Uri was absolutely friendly and nice to Mish. Which I think is because he immediately notices Misha’s potential and gift. As soon as Uri noticed Misha’s potential he knew he was definitely a part of their little family. The second quote was just the smoke blower showing his curiosity towards Misha but that's not why I chose these quotes.
I chose these quotes because it reminds me of something greater than fitting in. As soon as my eyes caught these quotes it reminded me of a typical unusual modern gang name . The whole introduction of Misha and the rest of the group reminds me of the same type of introduction I see in gang movies. It may not all be true but that is what came to my mind. Now a days you will not see a gang member called bob. Whether you have a regular game or not if you all of a sudden find yourself in a gang or some kind of group it’s only natural to get a befitting name.
One mager group that stook out to me are the greasers and socs from the book "The Outsiders".
