Now he goes to Aragon Hospital and waits for his turn.

Quote-"Giving my brain up." (Vizzini 19)

Reaction-
           I think this quote was ironic because it seems as if he didnt care about school or anything,  but it is the opposite he actually took one whole year to study for a test. And now he is saying that he is giving his brain up, just like giving up which is totaly what he doesn't do. By just reading a hundred pages i was really interested and I actually like it, some part were a little unnecasary to say in the book but most of all it was really good and I can't wait to read the next 160 pages.
