Response-For my response I picked a quote. This quote is very significant to the book.
Quote-"Enforcers are there to protect their star players."-Page 41
This quote is significant to the book because, the role of an enforcer is to protect their star players and that's what the code is all about. The book is called The Code. So that quote explains a lot about what the code means. The Code is about enforcers protecting their star players by getting into fights and hitting guys that cheaply hit their star players. Enforcers do this to create space for their star players, and they do this so their team has the best chance to win. When enforcers get into fights that's telling the other team not to take liberties at their players and don't think you can do what ever you want because, you'll have to pay the consequences. By getting into fights and hitting the guys that hit your players cheaply that gives you the best chance to win. It gives you the best chance to win because, by doing this your star players won't be injured because, the other team will be scared to hit your players. Because they know that the enforcer will be coming for them. By doing this the star players will be out on the ice scoring goals and winning games instead of being on the disabled list.

Simile-Marty Mcsorley was like a goal scorer in terms of his role on the ice. It's a simile because, your comparing Marty as a goal scorer when he's the total opposite. So I compared two things that aren't a like, which is a simile.
Simile-For the most part fighters are there to keep peace. It's a simile because, fighters are there to start things not to keep peace. So the sentence is comparing two things that aren't alike.
Simile-Deterrence isn't one of the reasons why NHL fights happen. It's a simile because, deterrence is one of the reasons why NHL fights occur. So it's comparing two things that aren't alike. That's why it's a simile.
Quote-"Enforcers are there to protect their star players."-Page 41
This quote is significant because, protecting your star players is part of the code for the enforcers to follow. I mean the book is called, "The Code"
Theme-Don't think you can throw out liberties at the all star players, unless you think you can back it up when the enforcers come for you.

"Fans have no idea just how important having a feared enforcer on your team really is." Page-21
That quote is saying that it helps a lot when your playing in the NHL to have a scary/feared enforcer on your team. Because the opposing players will think twice when they want to run one of your all star players. By having a feared enforcer on your team it's an advantage because, the opposing team won't run your best players, and it will also open up the game more for your teammates to be able to skate more without being cheap shotted. With a feared enforcer on your team your team will be able to win more, there will be less injuries, and your all star players will be able to produce more because, the opposing team will be scared to hit the all star players. Overall this quote is saying that with a feared enforcer on your NHL team your team will do better in the long run.

Personification-Enforcers are hockey players that were used to clean up the dirty play in the NHL by fighting. I know that's personification because, it's a representation of a person that helps clean up dirty play in the NHL. Personification-Goal scorers are hockey players that are the ones that their job is to score goals, and make plays happen to help their team win and not to get into fights. I know that's personification because, it's a representation of a person that helps their team. Simile-Sometimes Goal scorers try to be enforcers by getting into fights, and they're not supposed to do that ever. I know that's a simile because, I'm describing two unlike things and comparing them.
"Fans have no idea just how important having a feared enforcer on your team really is."-Page 21
This quote is important to this book because, the title of this book is called, "The Code", without enforcers in the NHL there wouldn't be a "Code." So by having a feared enforcer on your team it help explains what the "Code" means.
One theme from the book would be, when you reach the level past college hockey don't go after the all star players unless your ready to pay the consequences. Because the enforcers will come after you because, it's part of the "Code."

2nd quarter outside reading book
The Book name is "The Code." Author is Ross Bernstein. The book was published in 2006. The book is nonfiction. The information is true in this book about NHL fighting. There are 255 pages in this book. The book is challenging for a high school student because, there is a lot of information about hockey fights, the rules of fighting, the code you have to go by to fight in the NHL. There's a lot of information about the little things you have to go by to want to fight in the NHL. You really have to read the little things right to get why an all star NHL player can't fight in the NHL. I chose this book because, I like to fight, I'm a fighter, and I think it would be fun to read about the code you have to go by to be able to fight in the NHL. I think this book will be very interesting, and exciting.
