I think it's official, Ship Breaker is one of my all-time favorite novels. Since the last post, Ship Breaker has gotten even more intense, action-filled, and dystopic. So after traveling on the outside of a train for days, Nailer, Tool, and Nita finally arrived in New Orleans. They have no place to stay, and very little money as well. They end up staying in alleyways in the pouring rain, only having the money to buy dead rats. After a while, they finally find a small apartment to stay in. They all find jobs, working for very little payment on the docks and quarries of New Orleans. After several weeks of staying in New Orleans, they finally find a ship, not any ship; but one of Nita's ships. Unfortunately, Nailer's dad ends up in New Orleans too, searching for Nita and Nailer. Nailer's Dad's half men, get in a fight with Tool, and is believed dead. Nailer climbs aboard the ship, seeing if there is anyone who could be trusted. He finds a trusted captain and leads him to Nita. But when they return to the apartment, Nita is missing.
Quote: “We’re just licebiters to him” Quote by Nailer. This quote shows how little the rich people cared about the poor ship workers.
