So that was why it had been the easiest fight Kevin had been in. No wonder the new kid hadn't been able to land a single punch. "That's right, you miserable skunk," Mr. Jarvis said, "you beat up a blind boy." Kevin felt the hot tears well up in his eyes - his eyes that could see. Mr. Jarvis was right- he was a miserable skunk. How could he have been so stupid? What made it worse, Kevin sort of liked the new kid. He hadn't wanted to fight him. Something had caused Kevin to lose all control whent he kid made that remark about homosexuals. Kevin wondered what had made him so mad. And he really liked the kid. (Pinkwater, Daniel,
"Young Adult Novel", Young Adults, New York: Tom Dorerty, 1985)
