The Most Important Line From a Chapter Is... : Revenge of Seven

Currently, I am reading the Revenge of Seven by Pittacus Lore. As mentioned before, this is the fifth book in the series. The prompt I chose to write about was, "The most important line from a chapter is...?" The chapter I chose was Chapter 17. So far in the book, Sarah (John's girlfriend) has left so she was not in danger if the Mogadorians were to attack. John has met up with other people that are like him and they took over a Mogadorian base. A Mogadorian that decided to help John, named Adam, hacks into the computers in his home at the base. From there they are able to watch interrogation videos of humans who knew about and/or helped the Lorien race.

In one of the videos, one of their allies is shown, Malcom. Malcom is Sam's dad and was interrogated by the Mogadorians but is helping John right now. In the video, Malcom tells the following, "When they are committed to the Earth in the Elders' Sanctuary, Lorien will live once again" (Lore 254). While they are watching the video on the computer, they realize that some of them will need to go to the Sanctuary so that Lorien can restart on Earth. They also realize that since the Mogadorians already were informed of it by Malcom, they will be there guarding it trying to keep any part of the Lorien race away from it. This is the most important line in Chapter 17 because it is a major plot event that will cause some of them to go to the Sanctuary and fight the Mogadorians. This could lead to Lorien restarting on Earth or result in being killed by the Mogadorians, a major "turn" in the book.
