I guess our apples don't fall from the tree.
Our family are all the same.
The grandfather was kind of happy because he was remembering. The author was trying to make us see that the grandfather was saying that his son was growing up like him.
How my family has differences and things that we all are the same in.

After broke his foot Peter said "The pain was far worse than anything he felt before-it made the thumb feel like a mosquito bite in comparison." In other words Peter thought his broken foot was worse than his broken thumb.  The author is trying to make us see that Peter’s pain was so bad that it was unbearable. This passage had a significant impact on my thinking about his pain that it was the worst and it showed how hard it was for him.  This can happen to anyone, anyone can break their foot and also feel that pain.

When Peter said this quote, it is said to the reader to give them more information about peter, and illustrate that Peter has trouble realizing what what is his responsibility at home and what isn’t. He also feels responsible for things that have happened, and he cant change but wishes he could. He needs help discovering what he can handle and what he can't. I think the theme is to learn to find yourself, and control your emotions. I think the literary device that is used is a metaphor. It compares something literal, to something personal. It affects the user by giving off more information about Peter thoughts and worries. This quote represents how as we grow older, we need to find ourselves in this world and learn our own limits and responsibilities. This idea is used in the world because you can see people struggling to find themselves all around you.

This quote to me means that Peter knows that he has responsibilities but some responsibilities he doesn't know he has. He knows that one of his responsibilities is to find Pax but he also says, he wishes that responsibility had such bright tall fences.

Like to wake up early and to do the right thing.When (event from the book-context) happened, (character’s name-speaker) says…that he wishes that his responsibilities were so big.In other words...Peter wishes that he was really good in baseballExplain significance, tone/mood, literary device:

The narrator said to the audience. “the fence told him exactly what his responsibility was and wasn't. Peter often wished that responsibility had tall bright fences around it off the ball  field too.” In other words he wished that there was a fence that held all his responsibilities so he could know what he had to do.
The author is trying to make us see that peter doesn't want to figure out what he's responsible for. I think this quote is important because  it shows that he doesn't know what his responsibilities are.

When Peter was at the ball (⚾️️) field, he saw the fences. Peter knew that if there were fences around him, he would know what his responsibilities are. Peter had a fence around him, he would make the right choices. If the fence didn't go around him, he would have made the wrong choices, so he didn't know his responsibilities were. Peter is at a ball field. He is hiding behind the fence in a ball ( ⚾️ ) field. When Peter got out of the fence, the other kid asked him a bunch of questions. This relates to me by if I know my responsibility, (helping my mom with my brother) I can do my job better..

The Quote in Pax is a quote explaining how Peter wishes the fence could tell him what to do and his responsibilities. The Quote basically means the Peter just wants a fence to be around his life, to tell him what to do and what not.

The author is trying to make us see that Peter just wants guidance.This Quote is important because it tells us that Peter wants to Know what his responsibilities are in life, just like how Baseball is to him. For example, sometimes you get in trouble and someone takes the blame. You feel guilty, but when you take the blame you feel guilty. You just want to know who to blame or who to get in trouble. “This quote had a significant impact on my thinking about how sometime you want someone to tell you what's wrong and what's right.”

when Peter is at the baseball field he feels comfortable because it shows him his responsibility are and what are not. He feels he has so much stuff going on in his life. He does not know what's his to do and what's not.

When Peter was in the baseball dugout, the narrator explained what Peter was thinking. He was thinking about how he liked,when playing baseball, having a fence behind him to show what was his responsibility and what was not. He wished that everything in life had a fence showing what was his responsibility and what was not. In other words, he wished to be able to easily define what he should take responsibility for and what he should not. This quote is kind-of like a metaphor, because he doesn't want fences around him, he wants to know all his responsibilities. The author wants to show that he has a lot of responsibilities and he wants to know what responsibilities he should take. This passage had a significant impact on my thinking about the story because it shows how hard it is to make decisions sometimes and how Peter has many responsibilities.

# data[].attributes.body
When Peter is at the baseball field the narrator shows how Peter is feeling, how he feels right now and what he thinks his responsibility is, and the decision  he his making. In other words, the fence shows his responsibility by showing that it was his responsibility for his mother's death, and what he thinks will mean death for Pax if he “isn't where he should be” This also connects to the therapy session while he is banging the cars together. He also wants all his responsibilities as clear as life.The author is trying to make us see how Peter is taking responsibility on something he did not do such as his mother’s death, leaving Pax behind, also the quote is showing how the fences that Pax is his responsibility and he has left Pax behind. In this quote there is a metaphor when Peter is saying bright tall fences which are showing how his responsibilities and how thinks he is taking ownership for something he has not done.This quote means to me how I am doing something wrong and how it is my fault for everything that it really not my fault in the past. This relates to me when I need to take responsibility to wake up on time to get to school and how it it is my responsibility to do this with ownership by myself.

This quote was from the novel Pax by Sarah Pennypacker presented by the narrator relaying Peter’s thoughts: “The fence told him exactly what his responsibility was and wasn’t. Peter often wished that responsibility had such bright tall fences around it off the ball field, too.” A seemingly minor quote that would float past most readers as they read, devouring the rest and forgetting much but the general idea. However, the deceptively minuscule pretense is a thin sheen of mist obscuring another level, beneath the bland surface of the pages. As usual, the story’s tension is throttled up and down in the uncanny descriptive ability Pennypacker has claimed uniquely hers. Considering the crushing emotion and anxiety, it’s a wonder that many people have noticed the quote at all, because it is one in many thoughtful and moving quotes in the novel. However, it is one of the few that reveals the weight of responsibility draped around Peter’s shoulders of searching for Pax. During this time, Peter is plunged into wistful nostalgia as he watches a practice baseball match, eyes fixed on a skilled shortstop. Peter wishes that something else could carry the burden of this responsibility, or at least outline what he has to do, so some could be taken off and his uncertainty could be razed.

Peter has barely plunged into his journey and already he has been sidetracked, stuck in an hour-long practice baseball session. He wishes to hit the road once more and make up the lost time from resting in the empty dugout, and so his plan is to stay unnoticed with the mob of people watching practice. After seeing the baseball fences he is reminded of the days when he had been carefree--or rather, carried less responsibility than he did now. This helps solidify his character, with a love for baseball and also being entirely human, because he makes human mistakes. I haven’t yet met a child who doesn't wish that they had a little less responsibility, or that distant pastures don’t always look greener. I personally think that this quote has a subtle way of describing human nature--we always want more than we have, and every person wishes to have less responsibility than they ever have.

In summary, I believe that the narrator’s quote: “The fence told him exactly what his responsibility was and wasn’t. Peter often wished that responsibility had such bright, tall fences around it off the ball field, too” means that Peter wishes for something to help carry his burden of finding Pax.

When Peter said this quote he was watching someone play baseball and he said the quote because when the baseball went over the fence he said it's not my responsibility to get it.
Peter said the quote when he was at the baseball field. He was watching someone play the short stock position. What this quote means that when the baseball went over the fence he said it’s not my responsibilities to get it. So that relates to his responsibilities it is also important to the text because it matches with the setting when it is at the baseball field. I understand why the author said this quote in the text.

I do not think there are any similes in this book, but there is a metaphor  in this quote. In the part where he said He wished that there were bright tall fences around his responsibilities. But, I don't think he actually means bright tall fences around his  responsibilities, so that's why I think that part is a metaphor.
What this quote means to me is that inside the ball field he has responsibilities but outside the fences are not his responsibilities. So what this means to me is that  I know what my responsibilities are and what are not. This connects to school and sports because those are my responsibilities and other things are not my responsibilities

# data[].attributes.body
The Narrator said this quote. The purpose of this to let the reader know a little bit more about Peter. The quote is being said when Peter is at the Baseball field. The quote means that Peter wished to have a big bright wall around all of his responsibilities. That tells me that he wants to know his responsibilities in an easier way.
There is a metaphor in the quote, he says that he wants a fence around his responsibilities. When playing ball, Peter sees a fence he knows where his responsibilities are, inside the fence.

# data[].attributes.body
When Peter is entering the baseball field he says, “ The fence told him exactly what his responsibility was and wasn't. Peter often wished that responsibilities  had bright tall fences around it  off the ball field too.” In other words this means that wants to be able to see all his responsibilities like a ball on a baseball field so he doesn't feel like everything's  his fault.

The author in this scene is trying to change the mood of the story and make everyone know that peter thinks everything is on his plate. This quote made me think how Peter really felt about his life,  it showed that Peter feels very responsible for everything going on in his life. This quote is very important because it didn't at the beginning show how he felt about himself, like how he'll felt about his mom, and pax. The quote completely changed how the readers thought of Peter, he's not just a boy who's mad about a fox, he feels very responsible about everything. This how I feel sometimes, when I mess up on a test I feel very responsible even when I tried my best.

# data[].attributes.body
When Peter is watching the baseball practice, the text states, “he fence told him exactly what was his responsibility was and wasn't. Peter often wished that responsibility had such a bright tall fences around it off the ball field too.” In other words, Peter wishes that he had a reminder of what was his job to do and what isn’t. The text is making us see that Peter wishes metaphorically that he had a “bright tall fence” around him, so he can keep track of his jobs and responsibilities. In baseball, life is simple because once the ball goes over the fence, it is no longer his to care for.This quote is important because it shows that Peter feels he is responsible for a lot of his life, and how it turned out. This quote changes the mood of the story, turning it a little bit gray. This quote, to me, states that Peter is not really sure of his responsibilities, and he wonders what is his matter to care or not. One reason he likes baseball is because of this, because he likes knowing what to do. I see this idea in the world when I am confused, and I am not sure what to do. One time, I did not know that homework for that day and I wished that I could know my “responsibilities.”

# data[].attributes.body
Peter thought of this and it's purpose was that if the baseball lands right in the stadium, then, that is his responsibility. And if it falls out, out of the fence, it was not his responsibility. He is sitting in the stadium watching the baseball team that is practicing to play next game and he tried to lie out of it but he just made things worse. He said he was in Hampton and he played midfield but the other team was playing Hampton and they thought that he was a spy for the next game. I think that the quote means that he has his own responsibilities, and others don't have the same responsibilities as him. I think it was a metaphor because it means something. It meant to him because it means that that is important to him. This quote means to me that I have my own responsibilities and others don't have to same responsibilities that I have. I think the character said this quote because it meant something to him, he said that he wished that everything that was his responsibility had tall fences like a baseball stadium.

The narrator said this. He said this to Peter. The purpose is to let the readers get to know more about Peter.In the story when this is said Peter is at the baseball field. The quote is being said at that time. The quote means that when you look through the fence everything will look clear. The charter will probably be surprised.It is a Metaphor because when he says he wants to have baseball fence around him.The quote to me means that most thing are responsibilities. I see this idea in the quote because when I take care of pets it is a lot of responsibility because I need to make sure my dog get what he needs. School is also a very big responsibility to me by getting good grades.

The narrator said this. It's said to Peter because the author what's us to learn more about Peter.Peter is at a base ball court and he has seen a lot of the players go up on the court and play their turn and he looks at the fence and he wished that the responsibility so we're like the fence around the field easy to see.The quote means that he's having a hard time figuring out what his responsibility is. The quote reveals that the character or Peter is having a hard time on his journey of finding Pax or the pet fox.A metaphor is used when he says that he wanted the responsibility to like the baseball fence so he knows what to do.I want responsibility so clear when me and my sister gets into fights because sometimes we don't know who to blame for starting the fight.

When the quote happened, the boy in the story says, “ The fence told me exactly what my responsibility was and what wasn’ t. I wished that responsibilities had bright tall fences around it.” He wished he had responsibilities like the ones in baseball.It’s good to have responsibilities. How everyone could have a responsibility. This quote is important because it in outrages people to have responsibilities.

In the story Pax, after Peter wakes up from his nap at the baseball dugout, and thinks to himself, “The fence told him exactly what his responsibility was and wasn't Peter often wished that responsibility had such bright tall fences around it off the ball field, too.” Peter thinks this, and the purpose is to show how he feels, how he wants to know what's his responsibilities, just like how he knows what is his part on the baseball field. The quote means that Peter wishes that he had a fence, in life, not only baseball, that would tell him what his responsibilities are, or like when his mom died, he wishes that there was a fence to tell him if that was his fault. Sara Pennypacker wants to make us see that Peter is still most likely grieving over the loss of his mother. Yes, a literary device is used, because when saying at he wished there was wall around him in life, that is a metaphor, because peter does not want a literal fence, but he wants something like a fence, to clear what his life's responsibilities are. To me, this quote means that in life, not everything is confirmed, as others things may be. This means that in life, you just have to be willing to take a try, and maybe mess up a couple of times, but life is just isn't confirmed. I see this in the world because when I am in a group, and we get into trouble, if only one person takes the blame, they I feel guilty, but if I take the blame, I would still feel uncomfortable, because you know you may not have done that much. This quote had an impact on my thinking about how people get over loss. I can see that they still think about their loss, even after a while, and not only will they take a while to stop grieving. In conclusion, the quote that Peter thinks means that he wished that in life, there was a fence that showed him what his fault was, like how he blames himself for his mother's death. Also, he thinks if he had gone to the store with his mom, she wouldn't have died, therefore blaming himself.

When Peter is at the ball field on his journey to find his fox Pax when the narrator tells us , “The fence told him exactly what his responsibility was and what wasn’t. Peter often wished that responsibility had such bright tall fences around it off the ball field too.”

In other words, Peter easily knew what was his responsibility on the ball field, and he wanted to easily know what it was elsewhere too.

The author is trying to make us see that there is a metaphor when she says, “Peter often wished that responsibility had such bright tall fences around it off the ball field too,” because you can’t put a fence around every single responsibility in the world.

This story/passage had a significant impact on my thinking about when you can easily know what your responsibility and what isn’t and when it hard to find this. I see this in the world when I want to help someone do a job such as help build a fan in our house, but they don’t want it, and I get confused on my responsibility. But when I have homework I easily know what my responsibility because I know I have to do my homework.

# data[].attributes.body
The narrator explains,” The fence told him exactly what his responsibility was and wasn’t. Peter often that responsibility had such bright tall fences around it off the ball field, too.” In other words peter wishes that his responsibility wasn’t so big.

The author is trying to make us feel how big Peter’s responsibility really is and how important it is. This quote is important because it really shows us that Peter wishes that he didn’t have such big responsibilities. When I have to practice my guitar or go to football when i would rather be watching tv, but since that is my responsibility then I have to do it. In conclusion I think that Peter wishes that he had less responsibility.

responsilbililty is good and peter is a really good boy

I think this means that Peter was looking at the fence and visualized it as authority telling him what to do. When he talks about the brighter fence he wishes that he still had a more loving parent in his life.

In the book Pax,  Peter is currently at a school and he’s watching a Baseball team play Baseball. Then, the book quotes, ‘The fence told him what his responsibility was, and wasn’t. Peter often wished that responsibility had such bright tall fences around it off the baseball field, too.” The quote is being said by the author, not the character. While he’s watching the kid plays, he especially pays close attention to the small kid. He caught any ball that went in ‘his territory’. In the book Pax, there is a metaphor that says, “Peter often wished that responsibility had such bright tall fences around it off the baseball field, too.” This quote means a lot to me because in my life, I have to do so much math homework and I know that when I grow up to become an adult I will have even bigger responsibilities than the responsibilities I have right now.

I think that Peter was used to having the fence around him, the fence being his mum, because it could protect him from things he wasn't comfortable doing, like handling responsibilities, but now that it's not there any more Peter can't handle more of the responsibilities he now has.

I think peter wishes that his mother was there still, to show him the way and to help him see what was and wasn’t his responsibility.
The author is trying to show us it is hard for Peter, probably harder than it is for us, since after his mother died, peters dad kind of shut down and stopped helping with things and became very unhappy.
The quote made me think about how one persons death can affect everyone and how responsibility can be good and bad at the same time.

The quote-The fence told him exactly what his responsibility was and wasn’t. Peter often wished that responsibility had such bright tall fences around it off the ball field, too.
I think the quote means that he would like the fence to be his mother so she can protect Peter on the journey to find Pax.  Also to for the fence to be  a shield against things that aren't Peters responsibility.
I think that the author is trying to make us feel about how much responsibility Peter has not only on the base-ball field but also towards Pax as he feels like he must find Pax. and how fast things can  change from one thing to another so fast. For example when he was walking just and then the next minute he could barely walk.
This quote is important because it makes think about our own responsibility and what we also need to think about in life whether something is good or bad.

When peter was lying in the dugout he said that the fence represented what he was and wasn’t responsible for. In other words his responsibility was represented and reflected through that fence on the ball field.The author wants to make us see that peter has to take on his share of the task and take his own responsibility to get the job done.This story has a significant effect on my thinking about that if our responsibilities are unfinished it can take effect on others and their responsibilities.

I think Peter was under a lot of peer pressure because his mother was dead, his dad was going to war, his grandmother was dead and his grandad didn’t know what to do with his life.

Peter is going through hard times with his mom and dad gone that means he has no proper family members apart from his grandad who can’t even crack a smile.
How it would feel to not have a mother and his dad is at war so i find it really sad that the only family member he can go to is his grandad and he doesn’t care. Peter also lost his best friend Pax.

Means that he wants fences to block away those things that are incapable in his hands. Meaning he didn’t want things that aren’t something he is responsible for and weren’t in his control.
I think the author wanted us to feel how responsible Peter is for Pax and he doesn’t want anyone else's problems as he is set on accomplishing his own.
I think it has made me thought about how we should always be responsible but shows not to go too far. I think it is important how they represented it to peter’s case as it really showed how he felt towards responsibility.

When Peter was sitting on the dugout, the fence was representing what his responsibility was and wasn’t. In other words he was telling himself you have to take more responsibility in your life. The author is trying to make us see that Peter has to take on responsibilities to get the job done. Just like us in our lives, we have responsibilities that we will have to face. This story had a significant impact on my thinking about different responsibilities ourselves and others.

I think that Peter is trying to explain why his mum died and why he has to take on more responsibility.In other words he has more expected of him. I also learnt that life is not always fair and that sometimes people won’t always be there to catch your fall

We think the quote means that Peter understands his responsibility is easy when it is in the fences of a baseball field, more difficult outside of it. He knows he must find Pax because he is his responsibility and although his family isn't taking care of him, he must take care of Pax because he won't survive without him.

The quote means that once you have responsibility you can't take it away completely.

We think Peter wants to be fenced in so he knows what to do without doing something wrong.

We think Peter is trying to show his responsibility off of the field and is trying to get PAX back so he can show his grandpa that they are inseparable.

JA - I feel quite a lot of stuff comes in my fence, sometimes there’s things that I shouldn’t care for but have to take responsibility of. For example chores, I don’t care about them or want to do them but it’s a responsibility I’m required to do everyday.

I think the quote means that Peter feels that he is responsible for his actions and he feels that it is his job to go and find PAX in the wilderness. He is struggling with all his responsibilities and he should not lose PAX ever again.

PM-The fence told him what his responsibility Was and wasn’t . Peter often wished  that Responsibility had such bright tall fences Around it off the baseball field.  What I think is that you should only worry about the things in your baseball field.  But if they  are outside your baseball field you do not have to worry about that Say  a baseball If it is in you baseball field your worry about it but if it is not you do not worry .  You will  probably worry but you can’t do anything.What I mean is that you do not have to worry about thing that are out of you baseball field.  Only worry about thing that are in your baseball field.I think that the author is trying to make us see that you do not have to worry about everything And that you do not even have control of everything I think that she is teaching us a lesson.I think that this quote is important because the quote is saying you don't have to worry about everything that's what i think.

Peter thought the fence was telling him what his responsibilities were and what isn’t.

Peter doesn’t need to worry about the things he can’t control.   If the baseball goes over the fence he doesn’t need to worry because he can’t control that. If the baseball is inside the baseball diamond, he is responsible for it. “The fence told him what his responsibility was and wasn’t “ If the ball is in the field it’s his responsibility, but if the ball is out of the field, he doesn’t need to worry. We don’t need to worry about what we can’t control. The meaning of the quote was to know what you’re responsible for, and if you worry a lot about the things you can’t control, you don’t need to.

Mackenzie- The event from the context was taking place in the baseball diamond. Peter Was speaking to himself and said this quote ¨ The fence was telling him what his responsibilities was and wasn't. Peter Often wished that responsibility had such bright tall fences around it off the ball field, too.¨ In other words to summarize it would be that you have to let go of things that you can control like the wheather, laws unless you are the president or prime minister(etc.) Because your anxiety might not like the weather but you can't say it is going to be sunny today you can't just predict if it is gonna happen or not.    The author in this book is making us see that people have different moods/emotions with their responsibilities your responsibilities come with courage to show that you are committed and they also come along with rights.  This passage had a significant impact on my thinking about why this quote is important well it is important it opens up how your responsibilities reflect on you if you can handle it or not. My connections are that your responsibilities are important for he/her no matter who you are you have responsibilities or a privilege to go to the baseball diamond just like peter.

When peter said “The fence told him Exactly what his responsibilities was and wasn’t.  Peter often wished that responsibility had such a bright tall fences around it off the ball field.  You can’t control the things that you don’t have control over, Your parents might not be getting together but you have no control over this.

Don’t worry about things that you don’t have control over or that aren't in you baseball diamond.

The author is trying to make us see that… that peter feel guilty that he wasn’t there when his mom got in the car accident.

This story/passage had a significant impact on my thinking about… The weather because we don’t have control over but we still worry about it.

Peter says...the fence told him what was his responsibility and wasn't, peter often wished had such tall bright fence like a ball diamond. Don't worry about the things you can't control. Like are friends not getting along, that is outside of your diamond but you still worry about but it really isn't your responsibility to get into that problem. In other words...don't worry about things that are outside of your fence, worry about things that are inside your fence.the author is trying to make us see that peter feels guilty of his mother's death because he made her mad and if was there with her she wouldn't have drove frustratedly. This story/passage had a significant impact on my thinking about…  the weather because we don't have control of the weather but worry about because we have to dress for the weather.

Peter was at the baseball diamond watching the shortstop participate in practice and then he looked at the fence. “The fence told him exactly what his responsibility was and wasn’t. Peter often wished that responsibility had a  bright tall fence around it off and on the ball field, too.” He thought.  What the quote means to me is he feels like he left Pax and is guilty of leaving his responsibility and is upset about it. In other words the quote means Peter is starting to realize that if something is outside his fence(Something he can’t control) he doesn’t need to worry about it but he does need to worry about things that are in his fence(things he can control) then he better take responsibility for them.

E.S

This quote means that Peter wants life to be as easy as baseball. If the ball is in the field it’s your responsibility to field it. If the ball is a home run it’s not your problem. This quote is very important because it has many meanings. If you think about it it has different meanings. For example, if your parents are fighting you can’t control that, but if you don’t finish your school work, it your fault. There are somethings that are inside our diamonds, and some outside our diamonds. The author is trying to make us see, that for and you have full control over and some some things you're responsible and there is some that you can’t control.

RG-The fence told him exactly what his responsibility was and wasn't. Peter often wished that responsibility had such bright tall fences around it off the ball field too.

in the other hand Peter is having some rest at volas while Pax got some meat and found his father. It's a win win kind of
