1."William Halloway was thirteen years,eleven months and twenty-four days old"(Prologue, page 2). This shows how old Will was at the beginning of the story to give readers information of what he goes through and how old he is as he faces Mr.dark and the other carnival ghouls.

"Charles Halloway stopped, flushed, self- conscious again, knowing vaguely there was a target up ahead but not quite how to get there. He chewed his lips." (Chapter 39 page 181) This shows that Charles is now becoming focused and even though there are targets, he's not going to let them stop him from saving the boys.

"'You know what I hate the most of all Will? Not being able to run any more, like you.'" (Chapter 27 page 120) This shows how Charles Halloway is envious of Will and his age and he wants to be young again just like his son, Will.

"...staring in at the Theater,that peculiar stage where people,all unknowing, flourished shirts above their heads, let fall clothes to the rug, stood raw and animal crazy,naked,like shivering horses, hands out to touch each other...Jim's face,hearth-flushed, cheks fire-fuzzed,lips pated, stared in..." (Chapter 6, page 27 Along these lines Jim shows how curious he is while Will isn't. Jim watched the people inside the Theater do things unknown to his nature showing loss of innocence since he seemed to be focused on it while Will was scared

"One year Halloween came on October 24, three hours after midnight. At that time, James Nightshade of 97 Oak Street was thirteen years, elevens months, twenty-three days old." (Prologue, page 1) This tells Jim's age at the time and where he lives.

"The dark man's voice hissed away to silence. Very faintly now, somewhere in the library, someone was sobbing," (page 199). This shows that Mr. Dark doesn't have a positive effect on others. In this part of the story, Will started to cry because of what Mr. Dark said about his mother. This shows that Mr. Dark uses force to get what he wants from people, and in this case it was for the boys to reveal their hiding spot.

"'Oh, it's nice to be young, really. Wouldn't forty be nice, again? Forty's ten years nicer than fifty, and thirty's twenty years younger by a long shot,'" (page 193). In this part of the story, Mr. Dark is trying to manipulate Charles into giving him his soul. Mr. Dark can be seen as manipulative multiple times throughout the book, as the entire carnival is one big ploy. Mr. Dark has been collecting souls for a while by manipulating people with his carnival, which reveals what type of character he is.

"Somewhere in the recumbent solitude, the motionless but teeming millions of books, lost in two dozen turns right, three dozen turns left, down aisles, through corridors, toward dead ends, locked doors,half-empty shelves, somewhere in the literacy soot of Dickens's London, or Dostoevsky's Moscow or the steppes beyond, somewhere in the vellumed dust of atlas or Geographic, sneezes pent but set like traps, the boys crouched, stood, lay sweating a cool and constant brine. Somewhere hidden, Jim thought: He's Coming! Somewhere hidden, Will though: He's near!"(Chapter 42, Page 196). This shows how the boys were cornered and no way to escape creating suspense and tension between the characters and readers, of whether or not Mr.Dark would find the boys and capture them.

"...I could kill you (Mr. Dark)... 'But you won't kill now. You're too smart. You've kept the show on the road for a long time, being smart.'" (Chapter 41 page 192). These lines show how Mr. Dark was supposedly the leader of this magnificent carnival. But it turns out that he is a leader of a bad possy and Mr. Dark wants their souls so he can live off of them. What Charles Halloway is saying is that Mr. Dark has been really smart about how he gets his souls so live off of and how he's been keeping the carnival up and running for as many years as he has.. He's been living off them, not exactly taking them. Charles is now going to make sure that Mr. Dark is gone for good.

"Not a funeral and only what looks like a parade but's a search for us, Jim ,for us, Miss Foley, if they want her back! They can march down any old street, fine and dandy, and spy as they go, drum and bungle!"(Chapter 32, Page 149). This shows how good is being chased by evil. It shows how Jim and Will are trying to get Miss Foley and at the same time avoiding being seen by the "parade", as they can march through any street with no problem. The evidence shows "Good vs. Evil", by, showing how the two sides are against each other to try to find Miss Foley and how Evil is trying to kind of capture the good in a way.

"A man rose from the machinery darkness. "Jim!"(Will). Reaching out from the shadows among the calliope tubes and moon-skinned drums the man hoisted Jim yelling out on the air. "Help, Will, help!" Will leaped through the animals " ( Chapter 18, Page 70). This shows how Will Halloway is caring and helpful friend even when we can predict that if Jim was scared Will probably was too since, Jim is the more daring one of the two boys, beside that Will showed no fear and just acted out of the blue without thinking, only thinking about helping his friend.He was a good friend and stayed to help Jim as you can see in his actions.

"They both looked to the carnival where dusk colored the canvas billows. Shadows ran coolly out to engulf them... Soon night would own the midway, while shadows rode the ferris wheel up to cloud the stars," (page 67). This setting establishes the atmosphere of the rest of the story. It foreshadows the rest of the plot and the events that take place later on. This description makes the carnival seem creepy by using "shadows" and "up to cloud the stars" which is helping set the tone for the supernatural events later on.

"But two boys, far up the gentle slope, lying on the grass. Of a like size and gentle shape,the boys sat carving twig whistle, talking of olden or future times, content..." (Chapter 1, page 5) This shows how peaceful it was for Jim and Will. This also shows how layed back and calming the summer was for them and they had no worries.

"'Oh, she looked so lovely, so young. But it scared me... The fact is... she looked like myself, many, many years ago,'" (page 62-63). Miss Foley saw her younger self in the Mirror Maze. This is what she desires most, to be young and beautiful again. Foley is later tempted by the carnival and ends up turning herself younger using the carousel. This shows her lack of contentment with herself and how it effected her choices. In fact, all of the freaks in the carnival have been tempted into giving away their souls. The carnival takes advantage of people's desires and uses it to take their souls. This essentially suggests that lack of contentment is a very negative concept and may result in choices people may regret.

"...looking down at the paper crinkled to ash: "...COOGER...DARK...CARNIVAL...WITCH...WONDERS..." (Chapter 8, page 34) This quote hints at the evil coming to town "DARK" ~ Mr.Dark "WITCH" ~the blind dust witch.

"But, thought Will, it's broke, out od order!...The  merry-go-round was running, yes,but...It was running backward...The carousel wheeled faster, shrieking, plunging, going roundabout-back!" (Chapter 18, page 74) These set of lines bring up the carousel and how it changes ages when used a certine way. This isn't mnormal at a fair or in real life suggesting that this isn't order

"He came along the street of Green Town,Illinios,in the late cloud October day, sneaking glances over his shoulder." (Chapter 1, page 5) This tells the time that the story begins. Time can also be setting and the fact that a carnival is coming in October changes they way you might see the overview of the story. Espceially since fair are in town in Febauary rather than in "spooky season" (Halloween)

"They peered at the merry-go-round which lay under a dry rattle and roar of wind-tumbled oak trees. Its horses, goats, antelopes, zebras, speared through their spines with brass javelins, hung contorted as in a death rictus, asking mercy with their fright-colored eyes, seeking revenge with their panic-colored teeth." (Chapter 18, page 69)This setting impacted the plot by creating a dark, scary tone to the setting which foreshadows the supernatural events that are about to take place.
