Infringe-To encroach on someone or something(136)
Avid-marked by active interest and enthusiasm(139)

1-Personification-Agitator, An agitator is someone that plays a role in the NHL. His job is to do what ever it takes to get an all star player or any player off his game. I know that this is an example of figurative language because, an agitator represents a person in the NHL that has a job to do.
2-Personification-Enforcer, An enforcer is someone in the NHL that protects his teammates by fighting the other teams tough guys to send a message to not to take liberties with their star players. I know this is an example of figurative language because, an enforcer represents a person in the NHL that fights other people to protect his teammates.
3-Simile-An agitator is like a goal scorer. Those two names are totally opposite. An agitator is a person that trys to do what ever it takes to get a goal scorer out of his game and a goal scorer trys to score goals. I know that's an example of figurative because, I compared two things that are the total opposite.

Quote-"You stand up for yourself when you can, and when you can't, there's always somebody there for you who can." "That's the code." (123) I think that quote is pretty significant to the book because, it explains what an enforcer does to help you in the NHL.

Theme-When someone takes a liberty at your star player, let the enforcers do the dirty work because that's their job.
