My boyhood life in New York City has impressed me with the popular ignorance and also with the great need of something better than local lore and weather proverbs. - Cleveland Abbe Man is a gregarious creature, we are told, a social being.

It's wrong," he says. "It doesn't matter if your parents are in a better place, they aren't here with you, and that's wrong, Tris. It shouldn't have happened. It shouldn't have happened to you.
