↳recommended by @h-osterfield Summary: Welcome to New World. A place full of Noise, Noise and more Noise. It’s a stinky, nasty, unruly place to live, and livin’ knowin’ everyone’s thoughts all day, every day makes things even more horribly unbearable. But, we ain’t got nowhere else to go, so here we stay. My name is Todd Hewitt, and I live in PrentissTown, a dyin’ farmin’ town that ain’t got much hope for the future, what with only 146 men and no women anywhere to be found. Well, I shouldn’t say nowhere, cause that’s a lie, ain’t it?
“Hope may be the thing that pulls you forward, may be the thing that keeps you going, but that it’s dangerous, that it’s painful and risky, that it’s making a dare in the world and when has the world ever let us win a dare?” -Patrick Ness, The Knife of Never Letting Go
Choices may be unbelievably hard but they’re never impossible. To say you have no choice is to release yourself from responsibility and that’s not how a person with integrity acts.
