“I would rather be a brainless monkey than a heartless monster" (Toriyama 205). This quote shows that Goku doesn't want to be like his brother and destroy the world. He's different from the other saiyan that we know because he is nicer and although his mission was to destroy the earth, he tried to protect it and sacrifice his life to kill his brother.

"The seven dragon balls my friend.. they can grant any wish. They can even bring the dead back to life" (Toriyama 190). This quote is a very important quote in this book because it tells the reader about how important the dragonballs are and the ability that the dragonball can do in the story.

“How about immortality for ourselves? No death! No age!” (Toriyama 144).

This quote foreshadows that the 2 main villains are coming to the planet Earth to wish for the power of immortality. They heard about the dragonball from their dead friend Raditz and are planning to destroy Earth.

"You are no earthling! You are a Saiyan Warrior... A member of the most powerful race in the universe!!!" (Toriyama 39).

I really like this quote because it makes the reader very surprised that Goku was not an ordinary person but he was from another planet and he also has a brother named Raditz that came to earth to tell him about his home planet.

"I love that you're worried,' she says, 'but you're worried about all the wrong things” (Ness 117). This quote talks about how Mike was overthinking about things that could happen and he became very stressed and could not focus. His sister, Mel told him that he should not worry and it would not do anything if he becomes stress.

"My grandma turns to look at us, no sign of recognition at all" (Ness 89). The main character Grandma faces Alzheimer and she had a problem with her daily life because she forgets what she is talking about or what she is doing and she needed to stay at the hospital. One time, she couldn't identify what a pot was and poured water into her body.

"Because sometimes there are problems bigger than this week’s end of the world and sometimes you just have to find the extraordinary in your ordinary life" (Ness 75). Mike faces many major problems at the same time and he was stressed about it because he didn't know what to do. His sister teaches him to stop being stressed about everything that is going on and try his best to balance his problems while being happy.

"I'd like to yell at my brother for almost dying" (Ness 62). This quote is important because Mike survived an accident and his sister, Mel was very happy to know that he is fine and although he got a broken nose, two black eyes, stitches on his cheek and several broken ribs he still survived.

“I don't want to die. I want to live. I want to live long enough so I can really live" (Ness 56). Mike, the main protagonist has a crush on Hennah his sister's best friend. She said this to Mike when Mike was depressed to cheer him up and make him feel better.

"Your stomach isn't the boss of you" (Ness 4). This quote was spoken by Mel, who said this Jared after Jared said his stomach is telling him that his desire is possible. This quote means that he can always choose to do it or not and his stomach is not what controls his desire.
