Response-I decided to pick a quote from the book to do my response on, and I'am going to show how it's significant to the book.
In the hierachy that governs hockey enforcement, the rule is "to be the man, you've got to be the man."-Page 117
I picked this quote because in the code you want to be the best most feared enforcer in the leauge, and you want to be that guy that everyone wants to beat. You also have to go out there every night and win every fight other wise your coach will get another player to do your job. This quote explains what the enforcers want to be in the code, so that's why I picked this quote. Thats's why I think this quote is significant to the book because, it helps explain what the enforces want to be.

Shortcomings-A deficiency-Page 101
Confinement-The act of restraining of a person's liberty by confining them-Page 103
Personification-Enforcer Darius Kasparaitis,"I've broken my nose five or six times."-That represents personification because he's an enforcer and by saying that he represents being an enforcer.
Personification-Team Player-Shot blocking might be the most courageous element of hockey because guys know that they may have to take a puck in the face in order to save a potential goal from going in. That represents personification because, a team player represents someone who is willing to take a puck in the face in order for his team to win.
Personification-Doctor=Healthy-I could tell right away in a game if I was going to be busy or not based on the number of penalties and fights would go on. I would just head down to the training room and start to get my instruments ready when I saw that. I knew that I was going to be getting some customers pretty quickly. That represents personification because, a doctor represents being healthy and when you see the doctor that means you'll be ok and he'll get you healthy.
Quote-By Dave Schultz, "Back in our day if you ran a guy from behind you were going to get the shit beat out of you."-Page 112, It's significant to the book because, Dave Schultz was an enforcer and his quote explains the code.
Theme-Don't mess with the code unless your willing to show up for your consequences.

Thoughtful response-I picked a quote to do my response on.
Quote-"If you break a guy's nose or knock out his teeth, or break his jaw, that is just part of the deal."-Page 74 I really thought that quote was interesting because, it's true. If your going to fight you better know how to fight otherwise your going to get hurt. This quote is significant to the book because, when you mess with the code or when your in the code the quote that I explained can happen to you. So you should be prepared for that. All hockey players have gone through some of that stuff. It's all part of the game. The quote I explained happens usually when your fighting and fighting is part of the code. The book is called "The Code" so I thought that, that quote would help explain what can happen when you fight in the NHL or in any league. Overall I thought that quote was a good one to explain, and it's a quote that represents the bad things that happen to you when your part of the code.

Golden Rule-A rule that usually says, “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.”-Page 67
"Show up"-If you are a smaller player who breaks the code by getting a guy with a cheap shot or playing dirty, then you better be ready to fight.-Page 71
Onomatopoeia-Boom Boom Geofrion created the slap shot because, whenever he shot the puck that's the noise it made when it hit the boards. I know it's a literary element because, an onomatopoeia is a word that you describe the sound it makes.
Personification-Enforcers are there to protect your whole team. I know it's a literary element because, an enforcer represents a person.
Metaphor-Enforcers are there to intimidate the opposing team. I know it's a literary element because, an enforcer is a symbol to intimidate the opposing team.
Quote-"If you break a guy's nose or knock out his teeth, or break his jaw, that is just part of the deal."-Page 74 This quote is significant to the reading because, when your part of the code this stuff can happen to you and you have to be prepared for it. This stuff happens when you mess with the code or when your part of the code.
Theme-Don't hit anyone one the ice cheaply! Because the big boys will be coming for you!

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.
