Ch. 45, page 290
Scipio kept looking at the sky and the trees, as if they were new and strange to him through his grown-up eyes. He seemed not to hear Barbarossa's screams. He just walked, as if deaf, his strides so long the Prosper struggled to keep up with him. Only when they had reached the house did Scipio turn to Prosper, He put the complaining Barbarossa back on his own feetand said, "Everything has shrunck, Prop. The world is suddenly so small. I feel like I don't fit into it anymore."

I feel that then was when Scipio felt like he made the biggest mistake for taken a ride on the merry-go-round, because he knows that he can not change himself back to his youngerself and he's force to go up. Grown-up's wish they were younger and children wish they were older and I feel that if people would read this little section of the book would realize that it does matter what age you are that we all strive to have the respect of others and to be treated with respect. I feel that some child have to grow up fast, just like Scipio did after he took a ride on the merry-go-round, for some reason and that it is a shock and it starts to scare them. I never had to grow up fast but after I graduated high school I felt different and started to think about my future and it scared me because I had to start thinking about what I was going to do now.

I thought for just a moment too that Scipio might be seriously regretting his decision to ride the merry-go-round. Personally I'd rather ride it now, revisit my childhood. We're always in such a hurry to grow up as children and spend our adult lives wishing we could be children again.
