This showed once again that everyone had something different to lose in this battle. Some were concerned for their lives, and some for those they cared most about: rays, sea horses, even the chickens that ran free in the streets of the city because they couldn't all be caught in time. Kai Meyer
About This Quote

The author of this quote, John Steinbeck, shows that everyone has something different to lose in a war. Some people could lose their lives and others could lose their loved ones and possessions (such as chickens and sea horses). Some people might even feel as if they have lost everything. The farmer in the story, however, is willing to fight for all those things he holds dear.
