  1. Markus Zusak _ Underdog

    He's fighting the world." And now, I watch as the underdog in the middle of the circle fights on and stands and falls and returns to his haunches and feet and fights on again.

Others laugh now and rubbish him.Feeling comes out of me.I watch.My eyes swell, and burn."Can he win?"I ask it, and now, I too cannot take my eyes off the boy in the circle.

    We don't need a point, son. We're juvenile, we're dirty, we don't have girls, we have noses full of snot, throats sore as hell, we've got scabs on us, we suffer bouts of acne, we've got no girls ... What more reasons do we need?
