Rant #7

While playing his new found game, Rant gets into some trouble that he puts himself in.  Rant is at a gas station with his team and they are filling up on snacks.  He secretly sneaks out and poors gasoline on the car then drives off without his team.  Breaking though barricades Rant catches the attention of the police and in the heat of driving a spark lands on the car and it bursts into flames, killing Rant.  A man gives a interesting note on the affect of Rants death.

"Field Notes of Green Taylor Simms: Not to be overly moralistic, but sometimes the death of one person can justify the death of an entire culture."

In this case the culture is the underground driving game called "party crashing".  This lesson is important because it is just like the saying "bite the head off the snake...".  With the death of Rant all his fellow city friends stop the possibly dangerous game, potentially saving their life.  But it doesn't only apply to games.  The same result can be seen when looking at Hitler (learned about him today in A.P world so fresh in my mind).  He was the leader of the entire anti-jewish movements and also against others as well.  This statement is a very important/true analysis to the book and life.
