The Friday 56: Trying to Keep from Killing Piggy

The Friday 56 is hosted by Storytime with Tonya and Friends

RULES

1. Grab the book nearest you. Right now.
2. Turn to page 56.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post that sentence (plus one or two others if you like).
5. Post a link with your post to Storytime (and here on Bryan’s Book Blog, I’d like to know what book you’ve got at hand).

The nearest book to me today is a copy of America (The Book): A Citizen’s Guide to Democracy Inaction by The Daily Show with Jon Stewart that we found at the local Goodwill. So, turning to page 56, we find there is no sentence (just a picture of the U.S. Capitol) and so I move to page 57, which is the first page of Chapter 4, Congress: Quagmire of Freedom, and sentence the fifth reads as follows:

“1. Society Needs Laws: While anarchy can often turn a humdrum weekend into something unforgettable, eventually the mob must be kept from stealing the conch and killing Piggy” (57).
