3. Quote 1
“On the first day Corline`s family moved in, Miss
Spink and Miss Forcible made a point of telling
Coraline how dangerous the well was, and
they warned her to be sure she kept away
from it. So Coraline set off to explore for it, so
that she knew where it was, to keep away
from it properly,”

4. Quote 2
“Coraline went over to the window and watched
the rain come down. It wasn`t the kind of rain
you could go out in it was the other kind, the
kind that threw itself down from the sky and
splashed where it landed. It was rain that
meant business, and currently its business was
turning the garden into a muddy, wet soup.”

5. Quote 3
“They used to send flowers to my dressing
room. They did” Miss Spink said. “who did?”
asked Coraline. Miss Spink looked around
cautiously, looking over first one shoulder and
the over the over, peering into the mists as
though someone might be listening.
“Men,” she whispered.

6. Quote 4
“Coraline tried drawing the mist. After ten
minutes of drawing she still has a white sheet
of paper whit ‘MIST’ written on it in on corner
in slightly wiggly letters. She grunted and
passed it to her mother. “Mm. Very modern,
dear” said Coralline's mother.

7. Quote 5
“We ... We could be friends, you know,” said
Coraline. “We could be rare specimens of an
exotic breed of African dancing elephants,”
said the cat. “But we`re not. At least,” it added
cattily, after darting a brief look at Coraline,
“I`m not.”

8. Quote 6
“Cat`s don`t have names,” the cat said.
“No?” said Coraline.
“No,” said the cat. “Now, you people have
names. That`s because you don`t know who
you are. We know who we are, so we don`t
need names.”

9. Quote 7
“She walked into the drawing room and looked
at the door. She had the feeling that the door
was looking at her, which she knew was silly,
and knew on a deeper level was somehow
true.”

10. Quote 8
“When your scared but you still do it anyway,
that`s brave.” There was a tiny doubt inside
her, like a maggot in an apple core.
