East of Eden 1952-09-01T00:00:00Z Remembering Adam would be like losing him all over again, and I’m not sure if I can bear that on top of everything else. If I Stay 2009-01-01T00:00:00Z He lets go of Adam, whose body slumps like a scarecrow taken off his pole. If I Stay 2009-01-01T00:00:00Z “Of course you will,” Adam said without conviction.

East of Eden 1952-09-01T00:00:00Z And if you wanted any proof—just look at how Adam had run his ranch.

The Ear, the Eye, and the Arm 1994-04-01T00:00:00Z Adam stared at him, stared at him and did not speak. East of Eden 1952-09-01T00:00:00Z But now that Adam is here, I’m paralyzed.

East of Eden 1952-09-01T00:00:00Z In the hall just inside the front door he found Adam leaning against the wall, his hat low over his eyes and his shoulders slumped. East of Eden 1952-09-01T00:00:00Z Her cold eyes followed Adam as do the eyes of a front-painted portrait, and she listened with her nose for the whisky that was in him. East of Eden 1952-09-01T00:00:00Z Adam could see the glinting heat in the brown eyes, and as he looked he saw the lips writhe back from the teeth and the blind destructive animal take charge. East of Eden 1952-09-01T00:00:00Z If Adam had conceived thousands of ideas, the way Sam Hamilton had, they might all have drifted away, but he had only the one. East of Eden 1952-09-01T00:00:00Z Buttons and shoelaces and getting things on frontways gave Adam trouble. East of Eden 1952-09-01T00:00:00Z “Missy Adam say come! Missy Cathy bad—come quick.

Starfish 2017-09-26T00:00:00Z The last page of all was “Z is for Zachariah,” and since I knew that Adam was the first man, for a long time I assumed that Zachariah must be the last man. Z for Zachariah 1976-07-29T00:00:00Z He was smiling remotely to himself, and when he had poured the coffee and gone out Adam asked again, “Is there anything wrong, Horace?” East of Eden 1952-09-01T00:00:00Z Samuel and his boys brought in a well at forty feet and put down the newfangled expensive metal casing, for Adam wanted the best.

Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children 2011-06-07T00:00:00Z But that did not change the fact that she had been the instrument of Adam’s hurt and shame. East of Eden 1952-09-01T00:00:00Z Charles raised the match and peered around, and Adam could see the hatchet in his right hand. East of Eden 1952-09-01T00:00:00Z I grinned at Adam, who was trying to swallow his own smile. If I Stay 2009-01-01T00:00:00Z Adam laughed and the tension went out of the room. East of Eden 1952-09-01T00:00:00Z Luckily Adam found Dr. Tilson at his supper and dragged him from his roast beef. East of Eden 1952-09-01T00:00:00Z “You make it sound like a good place to settle,” Adam said. East of Eden 1952-09-01T00:00:00Z And Cal went on excitedly, “If he went away to college and never lived in this town again—” Adam nodded. East of Eden 1952-09-01T00:00:00Z Lee read the papers to him to keep him from getting restless, and often in the middle of the reading Adam went to sleep. East of Eden 1952-09-01T00:00:00Z His Adam’s apple made way for the sharp knife, and I turned the bayonet on its zigzag edge as I brought it out. A Long Way Gone: Memoirs of a Boy Soldier 2007-02-13T00:00:00Z Adam’s second five years were up before he knew it.

East of Eden 1952-09-01T00:00:00Z Adam’s father Cyrus was something of a devil—had always been wild—drove a two-wheeled cart too fast, and managed to make his wooden leg seem jaunty and desirable.

If I Stay 2009-01-01T00:00:00Z On a winter evening Adam looked up from his account book. East of Eden 1952-09-01T00:00:00Z Samuel asked him to rise, and when Adam accepted struck him again, and this time Adam did not get up. East of Eden 1952-09-01T00:00:00Z “You’ve got a boy! Easy,” he said, for Adam had seen the mess in the bed and a green was rising in his face. East of Eden 1952-09-01T00:00:00Z “I have quite a lot of money,” said Adam. East of Eden 1952-09-01T00:00:00Z “Such a man doesn’t really die,” Adam said, and he was discovering it himself. East of Eden 1952-09-01T00:00:00Z Adam touched her wrist with his finger, and her fingers moved a little in reflex. East of Eden 1952-09-01T00:00:00Z And Adam kept the house clean and started a set of books on the farm. East of Eden 1952-09-01T00:00:00Z But then, it is no longer Adam that I hear. If I Stay 2009-01-01T00:00:00Z Adam could see the stem and military face of his father as he forced his sons through drill and made them carry heavy packs to develop their shoulders. East of Eden 1952-09-01T00:00:00Z I glance over my shoulder—Adam is standing outside the hallway with sleepy eyes and an unlit cigarette in his hand. Starfish 2017-09-26T00:00:00Z After Adam had realized that this was his father he was still puzzled. East of Eden 1952-09-01T00:00:00Z Once Adam had remarked on the quiet splendor of Lee’s clothes, and Lee had grinned at him. East of Eden 1952-09-01T00:00:00Z Adam objected, “and art cumbered with crutches as well. And how wilt thou cross the river? The bridge is well guarded at both ends.” The Door in the Wall 1949-01-03T00:00:00Z He protected Adam from his father’s harshness with lies and even with blame-taking. East of Eden 1952-09-01T00:00:00Z Adam thinks that he did this to me? If I Stay 2009-01-01T00:00:00Z Adam took his glass to a table and sat uncomfortably in his wet clothes. East of Eden 1952-09-01T00:00:00Z After his first letter to his brother in over ten years was mailed Adam became impatient for an answer. East of Eden 1952-09-01T00:00:00Z Adam said, and his smile reminded Maya of the Cheshire Cat’s, too big to be sincere, a crescent moon too sharp at the edges. Far from the Tree 2017-10-03T00:00:00Z There’s no way I’ll have time to shower now, so I might as well check if Adam responded to my e-mail about the acupuncture.

East of Eden 1952-09-01T00:00:00Z Adam kept one letter from his brother, not because he understood it completely but because it seemed to have a covered meaning he could not get at. East of Eden 1952-09-01T00:00:00Z “It’s natural for a man to want his son to succeed,” Adam went on. East of Eden 1952-09-01T00:00:00Z And then—it was very fast, almost a click in the brain—Adam knew that, for him at least, his father’s methods had no reference to anything in the world but his father. East of Eden 1952-09-01T00:00:00Z “I had no reason to plant it,” Adam said. East of Eden 1952-09-01T00:00:00Z “Your parents are so cool,” Adam said, opening the car door for me.

The Kite Runner 2003-05-01T00:00:00Z Had I been paying attention, I might have realized that Willow was lobbying for Adam to be able to visit me. If I Stay 2009-01-01T00:00:00Z Adam shook his head and nodded at the same time. If I Stay 2009-01-01T00:00:00Z He brushed past Adam and left him staring. East of Eden 1952-09-01T00:00:00Z Adam sat at the wheel with Lee beside him and the two boys straight and grand in the back seat. East of Eden 1952-09-01T00:00:00Z It was as if God had given Adam a nice little laboratory in Eden, but then forbidden him from peering over the walls of the garden. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z In a moment Adam followed him and sat at the kitchen table. East of Eden 1952-09-01T00:00:00Z Adam has spent the last ten hours trying to get in to see me, and now that he finally succeeded, he left ten minutes after arriving. If I Stay 2009-01-01T00:00:00Z “Adam, give him your blessing. Don’t leave him alone with his guilt. Adam, can you hear me?

She’ll know then whether I know her or not.” East of Eden 1952-09-01T00:00:00Z Late in the year Adam made his great try, and it was a sensation in a year of sensations, both local and international. East of Eden 1952-09-01T00:00:00Z From there on, it was, as Gordy Adam would later say, “duck soup.” The Boys in the Boat: Nine Americans and Their Epic Quest for Gold at the 1936 Berlin Olympics 2014-05-27T00:00:00Z Lee said, “Help him, Adam—help him. Give him his chance. Let him be free. That’s all a man has over the beasts. Free him! Bless him!” East of Eden 1952-09-01T00:00:00Z I didn’t tell Adam about any of this. If I Stay 2009-01-01T00:00:00Z The doctor made a quick examination, inserted a packing, and turned to Adam. East of Eden 1952-09-01T00:00:00Z In the little living room Adam looked vaguely at his sons and went quickly into the bedroom and shut the door. East of Eden 1952-09-01T00:00:00Z Adam seemed to grow until he filled one side of the room. East of Eden 1952-09-01T00:00:00Z “Somehow he made a man better than he was,” said Adam.

If I Stay 2009-01-01T00:00:00Z And then we stopped talking for a while as Adam strummed an unfamiliar melody.
