Neal Bascomb, The New Cool, Crown, 2011
"The auditorium grew louder, everyone splintering off into cliques. A few students still focused on reading the rules. Others debating specific points, enthused about the games similarity to basketball, ..." The New Cool, Neal Bascomb, pg 37.
I feel this quote as well as the rest of the book is inspirational because of how well the author conveys the mood and mindset of the people within the scene. It also shows you what kind of mentality people have toward the subject, some are focused on the rules, some on the design and some on the game and strategy needed to play it.

Dalton Trumbo, Johnny Got His Gun, J. B. Lippincott, 1939
“Put the guns into our hands and we will use them. Give us the slogans and we will turn them into reality. " Johnny Got His Gone, Dalton Trumbo.
This piece of writing is inspirational in many different ways. It is inspirational in that it shows you no matter what situation you are in their is always someone to listen and some way to tell them, it also shows that you should never give up even in the most dire situation. On the subject of writing it is a good example of something with a lot of dialogue. It is the thoughts of a single person who can't see, can't hear, can't smell, can't speak and can only feel what his surroundings are like. All of the dialogue is the characters interpretation of the world around him based on a single sence, he manages to create this story only using thoughts of the main character and the pictures are painted so well with only thoughts that you feel as if you are in the room with him.
